10、ot glass bottle in the right experiment. Through this my own experience, I have learned that so long as we just study hard, observe and think carefully, we can figure out the secret of some scientific knowledge.The answer is all about air pressure. If you first set the egg on an empty bottle, the ai
11、r pressure inside the bottle matches the air pressure outside, so nothing happens. But when you pour some hot water into the bottle, it causes the air inside to heat up and expand rapidly, so some of the air in the bottle gets out. When the egg is put on the bottle, the air pressure outside of the b
12、ottle pushes the egg into the bottle. The result is an unbalanced force the force of the air pushing on the egg from outside the bottle is greater than the force of the air pushing up on it from inside the bottle. As a result, the egg is pushed into the bottle. DiscussionThis experiment is designed
13、to prove whether air pressure really exists.I prepared the materials, including a boiled egg, a glass bottle whose neck is a bit smaller than the egg, and some hot water to do this experiment.First, I removed the shell of the egg. Then, I carefully poured some hot water into the bottle, and shook th
