A balloon Easter bunny is put into a vacuum chamber that is originally at room temperature and pressure. The air in the vacuum is evacuated. The air inside the bunny is not evacuated and the bunny is not sucked down the tube. What happens to the rabbit and why?
This question was on a test I took last night. I didn't attempt it because the test was timed, I couldn't explain it, and I was tired. We finished up the module as well as the entire marking period but I'm curious. Why wouldn't the rabbit get sucked down the tube? Was/Is it as simple as, "The air inside the bunny is being trapped inside it by the balloon and it didn't go down the tube because it was too large."?
(Sorry for the strange title, I couldn't think of anything else. )
