Tapping on a can lid minimizes the chances of you wearing your soda. It causes some of the bubbles that may be lurking under the tab to break so the soda is less likely to bubble over when opened.

Tapping on the top of a soda can before opening it may help prevent the drink from exploding out of the can when you open it.

There are bubbles that stick to the bottom and sides of the can from carbonation. The idea is, if you tap the can before opening it, the tapping will free the bubbles from the can, and they'll float to the top. Then, when you open the can, the bubbles are already floating at the top, rather than pushing through the soda (which causes the explosion).

Is sink water tap water?

Yes. The water going to your house comes out of a "tap," which is an open/closed valve. In a house, this is usually a faucet though the valve you turn on to get water from the house is also a tap. Water in a well or a lake does not have one, and is therefore not "tapped." Similarly, a soda fountain is tapped (since you turn it on to fill up your cup and turn it off when through), and beer that is "on tap" is poured directly into a glass instead of just opening a bottle (which is not tapped.) own as a tap.

Why flow of water decreases when someone open another tap in same building?

The water in a building has a certain pressure, depending on how high the storage tank is. One tap opening has the full pressure acting on one small area, the size of the tap. If a second tap is opening the pressure acts on a wider area, so it is not so strong.
