Suppose the airlock fails, and there is a sudden explosive decompression between the inside of the Hab with about 1 atm, and the outside of the Hab with the atmospheric pressure on Mars. Which direction will potato plants be pulled? Further into the Hab or out of the Hab?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Out of the Hab.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure on Mars is less than 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure (0.088 psi) so if the airlock fails then the potato plants in the Hab will be pulled outside of the Hab because of the low pressure outside.

I hope this answer helps.
