It is easy to burst a gas-filled balloon with a neelde than with a nail. It is because
-
- nail is more longer than needle.
- nail exerts more pressure than needle on the balloon.
- needle exerts more pressure than nail on the balloon.
- gas is reactive with the needle.
- nail is more longer than needle.
Correct Option: C
It is easy to burst a gas-filled balloon with a needle than with a nail because the needle applies more pressure than nail. Besides, the application of the pressure is on a small surface area than in the case of nail. In the case of needle, it is a very tiny area at the tip of the needle, so only a little force gives a lot of pressure (pressure = force/area).
