Principles of Air and Examples
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Air exerts pressure in all directions | Example: The air inside a balloon pushes evenly in all directions to keep the balloon's shape |
| Air takes up space | Example: Pouring a liquid from a container is very slow when container is partially full of air and there is no hole for more air to enter |
| Air has weight | Example: A balloon full of air weighs more than the balloon without air |
| Air expands when heated | Example: A car tire increases in pressure on a hot day |
| Air contracts when cooled | Example: Air that is cooled pulls an egg into a sealed jar |
