Why does your finger look bigger in water?
Because when water ansd glass are put together and they are kind of work like a magnafine glass. ^^ what do you mean by glass..?
Ice water placed in a dry glass on a warm summer day will cause the water to appear on the outside of the glass.What is the process that forms water on the outside of the glass?
The process is called condensation, the ice water touching the glass causes the glass to cool and which causes the water vapour in the air to condense on the outside of the glass.
What are examples of energy being transferred by water waves?
a loud clap of thunder causes a window to vibrate
What force causes a marble to sink to the bottom of a glass of water?
gravity
The most famous examples of thermal energy?
A 12 ounce glass of water at 70 degrees has more thermal energy than a 12 ounce glass of water at 60 degrees.Adding ice to a glass of water causes the temperature of the water to decrease because the thermal energy in the water causes the ice to melt.A grill gives off thermal energy by burning propane.The sun's thermal energy heats our atmosphere.Thermal energy from a hot stove is transferred to a metal pot and causes the water molecules to move faster increasing the temperature of the water.
What causes water pipes to vibrate then shutoff?
water hammer and not being strapped down properly.

A student strikes a tuning fork and holds it next to a glass filled with water on a table. The glass begins to vibrate and?
the student is sexually aroused.
What will happen if you place a glass of water on a stereo speaker playing very loud music?
The water will begin to vibrate because of how loud it is.
Does hot glass look the same as cold glass?
Hot water contains more energy than cold, which causes the water molegules to vibrate more. Some vibrate themselves clear out of the water as water vapour. If hot enough they all will - this is called boiling.
Is water on the outside of a glass from the air?
Yes. The cool glass causes water vapor in the air to condense.

Why water contained in a glass cup is warmed quickly in a microwave oven while the glass cup itself warms much more slowly?
The microwave does exactly what it says on the tin and cooks food by emitting microwaves. These microwave energy causes the vibration of other molecules, most commonly the water in foods. As the molecules vibrate they give off energy as heat, thus heating the food or liquid. The water molecules can easily vibrate because they are liquid and can move around more freezely. The molecules of the glass are held very rigidly in place. Thus they cannot vibrate anywhere near as much as the water molecules and so the glass does not heat up. Most of the warmth of the glass itself is actually heat that has transferred from the water, not the microwave energy. If you put a an empty cup into the microwave for the same amount of time as a cup of water, you will find that the empty cup does not heat up. Hope this helps, any corrections to my answer are welcomed in the name of science!
When you tap a glass with a little water in it It has a high pitch when you tap a glass with water filled to the top it has a low pitch why does this happen?
Glass has a natural frequency at which it vibrates, known as its resonant frequency. If you put energy into the substance at its resonant frequency, you will force it to vibrate or resonate (resonance is a forced vibration). So, tapping imparts energy to the glass molecules and causes them to resonate. This motion sets up a wave of vibration traveling through the glass. The vibrating glass causes air molecules to vibrate similarly. The vibrating air molecules are the sound wave that you hear (the frequency or pitch of the sound wave is the same as the resonant frequency of the glass). As the resonant wave moves through the glass, it moves the water molecules with it, creating a wave of water that you can see near the edge of the glass. The dragging water molecules effectively increase the mass (both the water and the glass molecules) and reduce the energy of the wave traveling through the glass. When the energy is reduced, so is the frequency of the wave in the glass, which is reflected in the pitch of the sound wave that you hear. In simpler terms, when you tap a glass with a lot of water in it, there are fewer vibrations because they have more trouble traveling through the higher mass. Thus, the lower pitch.
What are examples of energy being transferred by water waves?
a loud clap of thunder causes a window to vibrate
How do icegergs move?
theyre floating in the water. waves of energy vibrate the particles of water as they travel, which causes items floating to move
What is a liquid that condenses on glass when you breath on it?
The liquid that condenses on glass when you breathe on it is water. The water is a condensate, and the cooler glass causes water in air we exhale to cool and condense.
