Answer from: alyssacyamamoto8050

The air pressure on the inner side of the can balances that on the outside of the can.

Explanation:

Indeed the air pressure might crush a properly-sealed air-tight can during the descent. The reason is that the air pressure on the outside of the can exceeds that on the inside. The force that pushes the wall inwards exceeds the force that pushes the wall outwards. It's the pressure difference that crushes the can. However, that's not exactly the case for the "empty soft-drink can" here.

The question states that the can is already "empty." Therefore, it is quite reasonable to assume that the can was already opened. In other words, the can would no longer be air-tight. Air particles could freely enter and leave the can. As a result, when the can is brought down a mountain, air enters the can. As long as the can stays open, there would be enough air particles on the inside to balances the pressure. A pressure difference will not build up. That ensures that the can stays intact.

in scientific notation, the value of the speed of light in a vacuum

will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.

Answer from: Quest

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
