What is the difference between buoyancy and water surface tension?
Buoyancy is the force exerted by the weight of water displaced by an object that is at least partially submerged in the water. Surface tension a force of attraction exerted between water molecules at the waters surface interface. Something can not become submerged in the water until this surface tension is broken. Surface tension is a very weak force and can be overcome physically or by changing the chemistry at the surface (adding a wetting agent).
How does buoyancy float?
Buoancy is the upward force that keeps things floating. I guess it doesn't need surface tension.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy
Does buoyancy affect surface tension?
yes it does when they touch the particle dies(atomns)
When a lead ball is placed on the surface of a viscous oil and is released which are the three forces acting on the ball?
gravity, buoyancy, surface tension.
Is surface tension and water tension the same?
yes
Is surface tension and surface water the same?
yes
What are the different forces of water?
Some different forces of water include surface tension, buoyancy, and drag. Surface tension refers to the cohesive forces between water molecules that create a "skin" on the surface. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in water, counteracting gravity. Drag is the resistance that water exerts on an object moving through it.
Is it possible for a human to stand on water if the surface tension is just right?
No, it is not possible for a human to stand on water solely based on the surface tension. The surface tension of water is not strong enough to support the weight of a human standing. Additional factors such as buoyancy would also be required.
How does the flim produced by surface tension help organisms?
The film produced by surface tension helps organisms by providing protection against dehydration, trapping prey, and maintaining buoyancy. It can also help in regulating gas exchange and creating a barrier to prevent pathogens from entering the organism.
When did Benjamin Franklin discover surface tension?
same year you were born weenie
What is the name of the force in water?
Several forces: # hydrogen bonding # bouyancy # surface tension # plus dynamic forces, depending on the circumstance.
What are three forces acting on a water glider when it is standing on a still pond?
When a water glider is standing on a still pond, three forces acting on it are gravity, buoyancy, and surface tension. Gravity pulls the water glider downwards towards the center of the Earth. Buoyancy, an upward force exerted by the water, counteracts the force of gravity, helping the water glider float. Surface tension, a cohesive force between water molecules at the surface, also supports the water glider by creating a thin film that resists the object from sinking.
