an example of capillary action is licking a camels sweaty armpits while enjoying a glass of warm coleslaw
^ okay, whoever gave this answer before..this didn't help me at all when i first wanted the answer to this question.
anyways, i think this is more helpful:
Capillary Action is the term used to describe the tendency of a fluid in a tube to seek a higher level than that of the fluid in the surrounding vessel. Like when you place a straw in a glass of soda and the level of the soda in the straw is a little bit higher than that in the glass.
The movement of liquid along the surface of a solid liquid
Leaves absorbing water, towels absorbing water, paper towel absorbing spills, tree roots absorbing water from soil
What else can I help you with?
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
What is the tendency of a liquid to rise in a small diameter tube called?
The 'capillary effect'. See the link.
What we called the tendency of liquid molecules to rise spontaneously up tubes with narrow diameters?
That is capillary attraction.
Which type of of pen use capillary action in addition to gravity for flow of ink?
Fountain pens use capillary action in addition to gravity to draw ink from the reservoir onto the nib and onto the paper. The capillary action helps control the flow of ink onto the paper, resulting in a smooth and consistent writing experience.
What would be A good sentence for capillary action?
A paper towel absorbing liquid is an example of capillary action.
What has greatest capillary action?
Water has the greatest capillary action due to its strong hydrogen bonding and cohesive properties, allowing it to easily move through narrow spaces and against gravity. Other liquids with high capillary action include mercury and ethanol.
What is a sentence using the words capillary action?
Capillary action can refer to the movement of water and fluids vertically and throughout the structure of a plant. An example is: "Water movement can be transported upwards in a plant against the force of gravity because of capillary action."
Is there any liquid that does not exhibit capillary action?
There are many. For just one example, mercury has a concave meniscus in a capillary, i.e., it tries to go down, not up.
Can animals use capillary action?
Yes, animals can utilize capillary action to help them drink water. For example, when cats lap up water, they use their tongues to create a narrow column of liquid through surface tension, which is then pulled into their mouths via capillary action. Additionally, insects like butterflies and bees use capillary action to extract nectar from flowers through their proboscis.
What the hypothesis for the capillary action?
Capillary action will pull water up the stem to the flower and into the petals.
What is capillary action due to?
The adhesive intermolecular forces between the substance rising (the one experiencing capillary action) and the container (typically a capillary).
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
Capillary action occurs when water rises from the water table into?
The capillary fringe
What is cappilaries?
capillary action i a liquid
What is capillary action. Why is capillary action extremely important for plants?
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
What sentence could you use for the word capillary action?
Water is transferred from the roots to the leaves through the stem by capillary action.
