Obvious but incredible ...

A pouring rain poured down, but why then did the colored rocker hang in the sky?

A rainbow occurs due to the refraction of light rays in raindrops. This proves the complex composition of the light.


Obvious but incredible ...

There is frost in the yard

Snow creaks underfoot.

Think about it, tell me

Why does it creak, tell me?

Snowflakes have a crystalline structure, and therefore the snow creaks underfoot, as hundreds of thousands of crystal snowflakes break.


Obvious but incredible ...

And it melts into darkness.

You are by the fire, you take a closer look:

Goes up ... Why?

The smoke from the fire is warm, less dense than the colder air, and is buoyant upward.


Obvious but incredible ...

White trail behind the plane

Seen in the blue heights

Why does it arise,

Who will answer me more precisely?

Airplane flying, throwing out hot smoke particles. Water vapor rapidly condenses and a cloud trail (fog) forms behind the aircraft.


Obvious but incredible ...

In balls and probes, we know in advance

Helium and hydrogen are used.

Why, tell me quickly

Then he runs upward faster?

Helium and hydrogen are lighter than air. (They have a lower density compared to air) Therefore, they rush upward.


Life or not life?

  • Why are cotton or woolen laces loosened less often than silk laces?
  • Experienced housewives, before pouring boiling water into a glass, lower a teaspoon. For what?
  • What explains the fact that the dust does not fall even from the surface facing down?

    ... the words armature, rotor and stator refer to the rotating parts of an electrical machine? (no)

Competition number 6. Physics Experts

Give answers to questions (each correct answer brings 1 point to the team):

    Will the melting of ice in a warm room speed up if you cover the ice with a fur coat? (No, a fur coat does not heat, it has poor thermal conductivity, slows down the flow of heat to the ice and eliminates convection)

    A drop of water, hitting on a hot stove, begins to jump on it. Why? (A hot plate, heating the surface of the drop, forms a shell of steam around it, this steam throws the drop up)

    Why do wet fingers freeze to metal objects in winter and do not freeze to wooden ones? (Metal, having a higher thermal conductivity than wood, removes heat from a thin film of water so quickly that it cools below its melting point and freezes.)

    Which burns more: the steam escaping from the spout of a boiling kettle, or the spray of water itself? ( The steam burns much more strongly, because the skin gives off the heat generated by the condensation process.)

    Why does the frost (hoarfrost) on trees sometimes disappear without a thaw? (Rime, or frost, is water in a crystalline state; it evaporates at any temperature.)

    If in May or September it was clear during the day and the sky was covered with clouds in the evening, should we expect a frost at night? (No, because clouds block the Earth's radiation of heat rays, and there is no significant drop in temperature at the Earth's surface.)

    The amount of heat received from the sun's rays during the year by the Arctic is much greater than that received by the same area in the Crimea. Why is it hot in Crimea in summer and cold in the Arctic? (Because in the Arctic, most of the radiant energy delivered by the sun's rays is not absorbed, but reflected back by the snow.)

    Why does snow creak underfoot in the cold? (Hundreds of crystal snowflakes break)

    Why, when transporting flammable liquids, a chain is attached to the body of a tanker truck, which drags along the ground when driving? (When transported in tank trucks, flammable liquids are agitated and electrified. To avoid sparks and fires, a circuit is used that conducts the charges to the ground.)

    Why is it advisable to install fuses in all electrical appliances? (It is easier to replace a fuse that burns out when the current exceeds the permissible value than an important part - when it burns out, the fuse opens the electrical circuit.)

Competition No. 7. "Let's overtake on the task"

Physics assignments

Task number 1

Psychics often demonstrate the phenomenon of so-called biomagnetism. It manifests itself in the fact that after pressing metal objects, such as coins, to the forehead, the latter remain on the person for a long time. Psychics claim that the holding time of a coin is related to the intensity of the thinking process. Suggest an explanation for this phenomenon, given that such an experience can be repeated by almost anyone.

A Coin sticks to skin secretions

B The coin heats up and diffuses into the skin

The coin is held magnetic fieldarising from mental activity

D Electrification and electrostatic attraction occurs between the skin and the coin.

D Gravitational force the attraction of a coin to a person is greater than the force of its attraction to the Earth

Adhesion is caused by the mutual attraction of the particles that make up the coin to the molecules of substances on the skin. A.

Task number 2

In areas with snowy winters, during thaws, wooden roofs of houses are sometimes pushed through and collapsed under the influence of snow. And how does the gravity force acting on the snow on the roof change as it melts? When reasoning, do not take into account the flow of melted snow from the roof, the change in the height of the center of gravity of the melting snow (and even the relationship between mass and energy, expressed in Einstein's formula).

A Decreases

B Does not change

Increases many times

D Increases approximately one and a half to two times

The force of gravity acting on a body depends on its mass, but does not depend on the state of aggregation. When the snow melts, its mass does not change, so the gravity force acting on it does not change either. B.

Task number 3

The Chinese called them chu-shi, the Greeks - Adamas, the Herculean stone, the French - Ayman, the Egyptians - the Ora bone, the Germans - Magness, the British - Loudstone. Most of these names mean loving. What (or who) is said in such a poetic language of the ancients?

Answer: Magnet.

Task 4.

This scientist is one of the famous physicists of antiquity. He is credited with the phrase: "Give me a fulcrum, and I will move the Earth" Who are we talking about?

Answer: the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes.

Task 5.

How do you explain Plutarch's statement?

"Amber contains a fiery and incorporeal force that comes out of it in hidden ways, if you rub the surface of amber ..."

Answer: When rubbed, the amber surface is electrified. An electrified body is capable of attracting other bodies and creating a spark discharge.

Why do cranes and other birds keep in schools during long flights?

Answer. The most powerful bird is ahead. The air flows around it, like water the bow of a ship, a wedge forms behind it, inside which weaker birds experience less air resistance.

A bullet, hitting a boiled egg, pierces it, leaving a hole, and a raw egg is shattered by a bullet. Why?

Answer. A boiled egg (especially the yolk) has a slight elasticity, the pressure in it increases little when the bullet passes. In a raw egg, as in a liquid (elastic medium), the pressure rises instantly and very strongly.

Why is it difficult to clap your hands underwater?
Answer. When they move slowly, little water is carried away by them, and when they move quickly, the water does not have time to "part" (there is an "attached mass").


№ 4.
Why can moose walk in snow or swamp without getting stuck?

Answer. Elk is a cloven-hoofed animal. There is a membrane between the forked parts of the hooves (when the parts of the hooves move apart, the support area increases, the pressure on the soil, the snow decreases).

№ 5.
Why is it more difficult to pull carrots and other root vegetables out of dense soil than from loose soil?

Answer. Under the root crop, when pulled out, a vacuum is formed (pressure less than atmospheric). The denser the soil, the greater the vacuum.

Why do people have more joint dislocations high in the mountains than below?

Answer. At altitude, the pressure is reduced, the force of pressing against each other of the bones articulated in the joint becomes less, and dislocations of the joints occur more often.

Why do tea leaves gather in the center of the glass when tea is stirred?

Answer. The higher the speed, the lower the pressure in the moving fluid. The speed is lower near the edges of the glass (due to the friction of water on the glass). The excess pressure between the center and the edges of the glass moves the tea leaves towards the center.

Why does a fish need a swim bladder?

Answer. By squeezing and stretching it with muscles, fish regulate the volume, which means the density of their body. Compression - decrease in volume - increase in density - immersion (and vice versa).

Why do freezing people and animals tremble?

Answer. So they get warm. Movements are made - mechanical work is performed - internal energy rises.

On hot days, it is cooler in a deciduous forest than in a coniferous forest. Why?

Answer. Trees evaporate moisture from the leaf surface. At the same time, the internal energy of the leaves decreases (they are cooled) and the air cools. Deciduous trees have more leaf surface area - more evaporation - more cooling.

Why doesn't a leaning bike fall over when cornering?

Answer. To move in a circle, action is required centripetal force... It occurs when the bike is tilted.

In the experiment with "Magdeburg plates" Otto Kerike harnessed 8 horses on the left and 8 horses on the right. How could the same number of horses develop more traction?

Answer. Fix one plate, and 16 horses to the other (the force of action is equal to the force of reaction).

Boiling water extinguishes a fire faster than cold water (immediately takes away the heat of vaporization from the flame and surrounds the fire with a layer of steam, which impedes the access of air).
Is it possible to pump boiling water directly into the flame with pumps?

Answer. No. In the pump under the piston, instead of the discharged air, there will be steam with an elasticity of 1 atm. Boiling water will not flow into the hoses.

In the pipes of underground parts of buildings, water often freezes not in frost, but in a thaw in spring. Why?

Answer. Thermal conductivity is carried out slowly in the ground (low thermal conductivity coefficient).

Wood conducts sound better than air. Why is the conversation in the next room drowned out when the door to the room is closed?

Answer. “At the boundary” of air-wood, sound passes from an environment that is poorly conductive of sound (compared to wood) to an environment that conducts sound quickly (wood). There is a limiting angle of incidence for sound beams. Much of the sound waves must be reflected back into the air.

What nationalities were Celsius, Reolif and Fahrenheit?

Answer. Swede, French, German.

Why is intense heat more difficult to tolerate in swampy places than in dry ones?

Answer. In swampy areas, the relative humidity is high, sweat evaporates poorly, and the skin cools slowly.

Drops are falling from the tap of the samovar. When are these droplets heavier: when is the water hot or when it has cooled?

Answer. When the water has cooled down, because with decreasing temperature, the surface tension coefficient increases and the drop becomes larger.

“Rye, rye ... Field road
Leads to no one knows where.
Sagging low over the steppe,
The wires groan lazily ... "
(A. Tvardovsky)
Why are the wires humming?

Answer. When air flows around the wires, "vortices" are formed behind them. The pressure in vortices is less than where there are none. Whirlwinds "break" from the wires and "sound".

Why do electrostatic instruments have no sharp ends?

Answer. The charge density is greater where the surface curvature is greater (at the tip). Near the tip, the air is ionized and neutralizes its charge ("charge drains"). To keep the charge, the surface is made round, smooth.

An electrified soap bubble inflates so much that its radius increases significantly (the charge does not change). How will the charge energy change? Does the charge help or hinder the inflation of the bubble?

Answer. The charge energy will decrease (Wp \u003d Q2 / 2R); it is easier to inflate a charged bubble, because the charges repel each other and contribute to an increase in the free surface.

In 1822, Arago noticed that a magnetic needle, oscillating about the equilibrium position, quickly stops if it is in a copper case. Why?

Answer. The swinging magnetic needle creates an alternating magnetic field. It induces eddy currents in copper, the direction of which is such that they impede the movement of the arrow with their fields.

If you hit one end of a long metal pipe with a hammer, the person at the other end of the pipe will hear a double blow. Why?

"Dark night.
Only bullets whistle across the steppe,
Only the wind hums in the wires
Dimly the stars twinkle. "
(V. Agatov)
Why do the stars twinkle?

Answer. The reason is in the properties of the earth's atmosphere. Now here and there there are clots, then discharges. The pressure is changing too. Air density "jumps" together with the pressure. Through such areas, light cannot propagate in a straight line. Light from a star, passing through the earth's atmosphere, experiences numerous and random deflections. That's why the star flickers.

To determine the sign of the poles of the source, lower the wires connected to the source into a glass of water and observe which of the wires produces more gas. How is it determined which pole is negative?

Answer. During electrolysis of water, the volume of released hydrogen is 2 times the volume of oxygen. The negative pole will be the one with more gas (hydrogen, whose ions are positive).

When current flows through electrolytes, they heat up. Why?

Answer. Ions in electrolytes move at an accelerated rate when current flows. In collisions, the energy (kinetic) of ordered motion is converted into energy of chaotic (thermal) motion.

How will the breakdown voltage of the gas gap change (increase or decrease) with decreasing gas pressure?

Answer. The lower the pressure, the longer the mean free path, the higher the kinetic energy of the ion accumulates, the higher the probability of ionization at the same (or lower) voltage. The breakdown voltage decreases with decreasing pressure.

Experience shows that it is impossible to charge infinitely any body and that, after the charge on the body reaches a certain maximum value, depending on the size and shape of the body and properties environment further increase in charge cannot be achieved. Why?

Answer. With enough tension electric field a discharge (corona or spark) occurs around the body in the surrounding dielectric (air) and the air loses its insulating properties.

Which of the cathode rays are deflected more strongly by the same magnetic field: faster or slower?

Answer. Faster electrons are deflected more (the Lorentz force is directly proportional to the charge speed of the electrons that make up the cathode rays).

When the current from one or more batteries is closed, a spark does not work, but when it is opened, it does. Why?

Answer. When turned on, the EMF of induction is directed against the EMF of the circuit, and when turned off - in the same direction with it (Lenz's law).

The pendulum is made of a vessel of water suspended from a long string. The water is gradually poured out through the hole in the bottom of the vessel. How will the period of the pendulum change (we neglect the mass of the vessel)?

Why is there a sharp deafening blow at close lightning, and a rolling thunder at a distant lightning?

Answer. When close, the primary sound wave from the lightning itself is many times stronger than the echo that comes later from reflecting objects. With a distant one, the primary and reflected waves reach us with less differing strength

What do you think is heavier: a ton of wood or a ton of iron?

Answer. A ton of wood will, oddly enough, heavier than iron. If you recall, Archimedes' law applies not only to liquids, but also to gases. Each body "loses" from its weight in the air as much as the displaced volume of air weighs. Wood and iron also lose some of their weight in the air. But a ton of wood takes up much more volume than a ton of iron, every 15 times, so the true weight of a ton of wood is greater than the weight of a ton of iron.

There is a light bulb in the room. Outside the room, there are 3 switches, one of which turns on this light, while the others do not work. You need to find out which of them turns on the light bulb, and you can enter the room only once. (The switches click in the same way, you cannot disassemble, the door to the room closes tightly, you cannot see anything in the keyhole, etc.)


ANSWER

(We leave the first switch off.
We turn on the second.
Turn on the third, WAIT, turn off.
Let's go to see what's with the light bulb. On - means the second switch, off - touch with your hand: warm means the third switch, cold means the first)

Try this trick: fill a clean glass to the top with water and argue with the guests that there is still a lot of free space in the glass. Of course, they will not believe you, but you will begin carefully, without touching the water, but without splashing, to lower coins into the glass one after another. And at the same time, the water will not pour out of the glass - you will prove that there is still room in it! Why does this happen?


ANSWER

(If you look at the glass from the side, you will see how, when the coins are lowered, its surface swells with a bump: water does not pour out, since it is held by a film of surface tension)

When there was no central heating and hot water heaters yet, bath water was heated on a stove. In those days, a cook once heated water on the stove in a large saucepan to refill the bathtub, where there was already some water at room temperature. Noticing this, the butler said to her: "Don't you understand that the longer you heat the water on the stove, the colder the water in the bath will be when you pour the heated water into it?" He was right. Why?
