Yes, but it would have to be tilted, almost flat. You can only drink through it if your mouth is not more than 33 feet higher than the surface of the liquid that you're drinking through the straw.


When you drink a soft drink with the help of a straw what forces the liquid up the straw?

When you suck on a straw, you decrease the air pressure inside the straw, creating a partial vacuum. The higher air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw then pushes the liquid up the straw and into your mouth.


Can you drink through a straw if there was a hole in it?

Nope it is not possible. I don't know why but, no you cannot drink through a straw that has a hole in it.


Why it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?

It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.


Why can't we suck a cold drink through a straw on the moon?

Sucking through a straw relies on atmospheric pressure to push the liquid up. In the airless environment of the moon, there is no atmospheric pressure to assist in the suction action, making it impossible to drink through a straw.


What role does atmospheric pressure play when someone is drinking a liquid through a straw?

when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. because there is less air the pressure of the straw is reduced. but the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid remains the same. henceforth how it helps you drink


Can you Drink liquid iron from straw?

It is not recommended to drink liquid iron directly from a straw as it can be toxic in high doses. Iron supplements should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.


How can you drink from a straw when there's no forces that suck?

You create a pressure difference in your mouth by lowering the air pressure inside when you inhale. This pressure difference causes the liquid to rise up the straw and into your mouth. The difference in pressure is what allows you to drink the liquid through the straw.


Why you can drink from a drinking straw?

You can drink from a straw because it creates a pressure difference when you suck on it. By drawing air out of the straw, you reduce the air pressure inside it, allowing atmospheric pressure to push the liquid up into the straw and into your mouth. This principle of pressure differential enables the liquid to flow upward against gravity.


How does straw function while drink?

When you 'suck' on a straw, you reduce the air pressure inside it. This means the air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw is greater - so it pushes down, which forces liquid up the straw into your mouth.


Why can't you drink through a straw in a sealed container?

To drink from a straw you need an opening for the atmospheric pressure to push into so it can displace the amount of liquid you are sipping in. Without an opening it is near impossible to suck the contents out because there is no pressure helping you displace the air then liquid you are trying to suck out of the straw.


Why is it difficult to drink liquid with a straw with holes in it?

because when you suck up the liquid, it will just go right through the holes.
