Unit 6 Physics Leading in: Explaining basic physics Task 1 Pair activity: Demonstrate the following experiments and explain the results九幅图 1. let go of a balloon filled with helium 2 let go of a untied balloon filled with air 3 jump from the ground 4 drop a raisin into a glass of champagne 5 rub the surface of a balloon with your hair, then try to attach it to the wall 6 compare the different movement by trying to stop a spinning boiled hard-egg and a spinning raw egg 7 drop a rock or marble and a wrapped-up piece of paper at the same time 8 pull back and then let go of the steel ball suspended on a frame 9 push a wooden block on a surface of the glass, then on a wood surface What should be prepared? What to do? What happens? Why? 1 The balloon rises upward The air above the balloon is lighter and less dense 2 A balloon 3 Stand on the floor, then jump 4 The raisin rises and sinks back to the bottom, and keeps moving up and down. Bubbles of air collect around the raisin and make it rise to the top of the glass. When it reaches the surface, the bubbles escape, so it sinks back to the bottom again. 5 6 a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg? First, spin the hard-boiled egg on its side. When its going fast, gently put your fingers down on it to stop it and then move your hand off immediately when it stops. Next, spin the raw egg. Stop it in the same way you did with the hard-boiled egg. The egg start to turn again the motion of the liquid within the egg is still going; the force you exerted was not enough to stop both the inertia of the shell and the inertia of the liquid inside of it. If you held the egg longer, enough force would have been exerted to stop the egg completely. 7 Rock/marble, wrapped-up paper, maybe a plate 8 When the ball on one end is pulled back and then let go, it swings into the other balls. The ball on the opposite end then swings up with an equal force to the first ball, as shown in the illustration on the right. The force of the first ball c
