During strong storms, light thatched or tin roofs blow away because the high velocity air flowing over the roof creates pressure on the roof surface and the pressure below the roof remains normal. Additionally, the roofs are not tied tightly, ...
When two pieces of ice are pressed together, the pieces stick together, Due to increased pressure, the melting point of ice decreases. This occurs because pressure disrupts the equilibrium between solid and liquid phases, lowering the energy barrier for melting.
When a bucket of water is rotated very fast in a vertical circle, the water does not fall from the bucket even from its highest position because centrifugal force is greater than the weight of water. Centrifugal force pushes the ...
When milk is churned vigorously, cream separates from it due to centrifugal force. Centrifugal force acts outward from the center of rotation, causing denser milk particles to move towards the outer edges of the container, while lighter cream particles move ...
