Straws and atmospheric pressure

Drinks in a straw aren’t pulled, they’re pushed.

Drinks in a straw aren’t pulled, they’re pushed. When we say ‘straw,’ most people picture liquid being sucked upward. But scientifically, that’s not what happens. The liquid doesn’t rise because of suction; it rises because the … more

압력과 면적의 관계 Pressure and Pressing Area

Pressure and Pressing Area

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. When the same force is applied to two different surfaces, the pressure depends on the size of the area: the larger the area, the smaller the … more

Bimetal

Bimetal

Bimetal Bimetal is a combination of two metals with different degrees of thermal expansion, and when the temperature of the bimetal increases, it bends toward the smaller degree of thermal expansion. Such bimetals keep the temperature … more

Heat conduction (a good thing about wooden pot handles)

Heat conduction (a good thing about wooden pot handles)

Conduction The ‘conduction’ of heat is how heat is transferred by moving particles that make up an object to neighboring particles. Heat can be transferred even if the particles do not move, mainly by vibration or … more

Convection in the room: air conditioners and stoves

Convection in the room: air conditioners and stoves

Convection in the room There are three ways to transfer the heat: conduction, convection, and radiation. Convection is the method by which heat is transferred by the direct movement of particles that make up a liquid … more

Cold and Warm Water

Diffusion of ink in cold and hot water

Particle movement according to temperature The matter around us is made up of tiny particles constantly moving. The particles move more actively as the temperature increases. Water particles move more actively in hot water than cold … more

Kinetic Theory Model

Kinetic Theory Model

Kinetic theory model Gas particles are constantly moving in all directions. However, we cannot observe these gases because they are very small. The “Kinetic theory model” can replace these invisible gas particles with beads and make … more

Boiling point measurement

Boiling Point (Ice or Water, Ethanol)

Boiling point and properties of substances All water boils at 100°C when heated, even if it has a different mass. In this way, the same kind of substance has the same boiling point regardless of quantity. … more
