How does a straw work using Boyle's law relating to volume and pressure?
If you suck some air out of a straw, the remaining air in the straw will have to contract in volume in order to maintain the same pressure, which it will do because normal air pressure is still pressing on the liquid in which the straw is submerged. The contracting air will then draw up the liquid.
How does drinking through a straw show that fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
Sucking on the straw reduces the air pressure inside it. This allows 'natural' air pressure to push down on the liquid in the container, causing it to rise up the straw..
How does milk rise up when you drink milk from a bottle with a straw?
When you suck from a straw you create a partial vaccuum which reduces the air pressue inside the straw. The air pressure outside the straw pushes down on the milk and forces it up through the straw.
Assuming that you could survive in outer space without a space suit would it be possible to drink using a straw explain y or why not?
No. The action of a drinking through a straw is that you suck the air out of the straw, and the air pressure on the outside of the cup them pushes the liquid up the straw. If there were no air pressure on the surface of the liquid, then there wouldn't be anything to cause the liquid to rise. However; 1. If there were no air pressure, the liquid would boil and vaporize; there wouldn't be any liquid to drink. 2. In weightlessness, you can't suck water through a straw even IN atmosphere; the liquid forms globules under the influence of its own surface tension. On the Space Station, the astronauts drink from sealed bulbs; sort of like juice pouches. You squeeze the pouch to push the liquid into your mouth.
How does drinking from a straw show fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
w,the pressure in the straw is reduced.but the atmospeheric pressure on the surface of the liquid stays the same.
When you drink with the help of a straw what forces the liquid up the straw?
Air pressure. If you suck, the air pressure of the surrounding air is greater than the pressure inside the straw.
How does air pressure help drinking through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. Because there is less air pressure of the straw is reduced. But the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid.
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
How is drinking from a straw the same as an egg going into a glass bottle?
Drinking from a straw is the same as an egg going into a glass bottle, because air pressure in both cases is used to move something. In the straw, you reduce the air pressure in the straw, so the air pressure around the drink pushes it up into the straw and into your mouth. In the egg, you reduce the air pressure in the bottle, and air pressure around the egg pushes it down into the bottle.
Why does a soft drink rises when sucked with a straw?
As you suck on the straw air is removed from the inside of the straw and the air pressure within the straw is reduced. Once the straw's air pressure is reduced past atmospheric pressure of about 760 mmHg, the Patm forces the drink up the straw and into the sucker's mouth. Gases move from high to low pressure areas until equilibrium is reached.

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.
What happens to the air pressure in the straw when you suck lemonade?
The pressure in the straw goes to negative.[We cannot have a negative pressure - this grammar form is known as an oxymoron.]A2. The pressure in the straw is reduced, and thus the liquid is able to be drawn higher in the straw.

Why a liquid travels up a straw when you suck on it?
1) Air inside the straw moves 2)Pressure inside decreases 3)Pressure of the atmosphere is greater then the Pressure inside the straw=Liquid moves up the straw!!!
What your milkshake go up the straw?
Air pressure
The water in a drinking straw does not drip out when you press te top of the straw with your thumb or finger tip?
It's a matter of air pressure that acts on the water. When the straw is uncovered, there are two forces acting on the water inside. There is gravity, pulling the water down, and air pressure. The pressure is about the same on both ends of the straw, but on the top of the straw, the pressure pushes the water downward, and on the bottom of the straw, the pressure pushes upward. Both of the pressures are the same, so the net force is just the force of gravity pulling the water down and out of the straw. When you cover the top of the straw, you block the air from pushing down on the water. In this case, the only forces on the water are the air pressure pushing up, and gravity pulling down. However, the air pressure is a greater force than gravity, and keeps the water in the straw despite gravity's pull.
