It is easy to burst a gas-filled balloon with a needle than with a nail. It is because – |
A. | nail is more longer than needle. |
B. | nail exerts more pressure than needle on the balloon. |
C. | needle exerts more pressure than nail on the balloon. |
D. | gas is reactive with the needle. |
Answer» C. needle exerts more pressure than nail on the balloon. | |
Explanation: It is easy to burst a gas-filled balloon with a needle than with a nail because the needle applies more pressure than nail. Besides, the application of the pressure is on a small surface area than in the case of nail. In the case of needle, it is a very tiny area at the tip of the needle, so only a little force gives a lot of pressure (pressure = force/area). |
