The surface tension of water allows drops to sit on a penny without overflowing. This is due to the cohesion of water molecules, which causes them to stick together and form a dome shape on the penny. Additionally, the adhesive forces between the water and the penny help to keep the water droplet in place.
This is related to real life because we might have to create something that is involved in this
The surface tension of water allows it to form a dome-like shape on the penny, rather than spreading out. This enables numerous drops to be added before overflowing. Additionally, the small size of the water drops means that many can fit within the confined space of the penny's surface.
Several factors can come into play here.The size of the dropsHow fast the liquid is being droppedWhat type of liquid is being usedThe temperature of the liquidThe termperature of the pennyIf the penny was clean or dirtyThe height the drop falls fromAny of these things can have an effect an expansion of the liquid, surface tension, and splash.
16 drops of water or any water soluble substance makes 1 ml
One US quart is 18,927 drops.
When the Penny Drops was created in 2010.
In this experiment, the control group would be the penny! The independent variable is the substance/water on the penny, and the dependent is how many drops the penny takes.
for example, if drops of water are placed on the top of a penny, the surface tension is going to hold the drops on top of the penny. when the penny can hold no more, it will all overflow. make sense?
The penny's state of corrosion.
Alot of drops fit because if you keep the surface tension from moving then you could put as much drops as you can.] ==If you put a penny on a flat surface and keep its tension and keep the penny from moving you can put as much drops as you can till it leaks off. You cant put as much as you want cause the penny will overflow. its not a big object?
how many drops of water can a penny hold? topic: crazy penny........
four
it is big inside but small out side
milk
an eraser. a penny would catch more air under it. no both would drop at same speed
adhesion
The controlled variable is the penny. The independent variable is the water. The dependent variable is the amount of water able to fit on the penny.
