Will Igniting Hydrogen and Oxygen in a Strong Metal Chamber Cause an Explosion?

AI Thread Summary
Igniting hydrogen and oxygen in a strong metal chamber may or may not cause an explosion, depending on the quantities of gases and the chamber's strength and shape. If the chamber is unbreakable, the reaction will produce water until all hydrogen and oxygen are consumed, at which point the reaction will cease. The potential for an explosion is influenced by the specific conditions of the reaction. If the chamber can withstand the pressure generated, the reaction will not extinguish prematurely. Ultimately, the outcome hinges on the balance of these factors.

I have a question,

What happen you Ignite hydrogen and oxygen in very strong metal close chamber
Will it explode to break the chamber?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
That's a very vague question. The short answer is: maybe.

It depends on how much H and O as well as strength and shape of container.
 
Imagine the chamber cannot break,what happen with the reaction hydrogen oxygen,will it extinguish?
 
Assuming the reaction happens at all, it will react to water until no hydrogen or oxyen is left, then the reaction stops.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
