Why Does a Shower Curtain Move Towards You in a Hot Shower?

AI Thread Summary
A shower curtain moves towards you during a hot shower due to increased air temperature, which raises the speed of air molecules and decreases pressure. This change allows the curtain to be drawn inward as the surrounding air pressure outside the curtain remains higher. The discussion also touches on fluid dynamics, explaining that the movement of air creates a vacuum effect that contributes to this phenomenon. Additionally, it is noted that friction between fluids is lower than between solids due to the smoother nature of fluids. Understanding these principles helps explain the behavior of the shower curtain in a hot shower environment.

Hey there. I'm new here and I wasn't exactly sure where to put this thread so please don't yell at me or anything if I'm wrong. :] So for my physical science class I have the following questions and I need a bit of help on it.

1. Explain using the terms heat, molecules, speed, pressure, fluid why a shower curtain sometimes "attacks" you.

My answer:
A shower curtain sometimes attacks you because as you heat the shower up, you increase the speed of the air and decrease the pressure. When this happens, the molecules move faster and get farther apart which allows room for the shower curtain to pull through.

I wasn't sure where to stick the word, "fluid" in there though.

2. Explain why friction between fluids is always less than friction between solids.

My answer: Friction between fluids is always less than friction between solids because fluids are smoother which causes it to have less friction than solids.

Thanks in advance :]

I suppose you could mention fluid by stating that as the air heats up, the pressure causes the fulid to "siphon/create a vacuum" (sorry for lack of better words) the surrounding air. This creates an imbalance of pressures on each side of the shower curtain where the outside pressure is greater thus pushing it inwards.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
