This Science Demo Shows Air Pressure in Action [2LokHlzNhjw]
What happens if you try to blow a piece of paper further into a vase? 🏺💨 In this episode of Science Experiments & Demonstrations, Gregory Wolf (@wolf_science) puts it to the test, even bringing in a compressor for extra force, but the paper won't go in. The reason comes down to air pressure: blowing into the vase raises the pressure inside, and with the paper blocking its only exit, that pressure pushes back and forces the paper right back out. #Physics #Science #ScienceDemo #ScienceExperiment #YouTubeShorts #Shorts Short Science with the Museum of Science: Science Experiments & Demonstrations: Wolf Science x Museum of Science: Among the world's largest science centers and New England's most attended cultural institution, the Museum of Science reaches over 300 million people a year — at Science Park and in museums around the world, in classrooms, and online.
