Water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces?
Yes, water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces.
What is a tensile tester machine used for?
It is a scientific machine that applies tension to an item until it fails. It is used for quality control and to know the durability of certain items. It can also determine how certain forces will effect the material. For example, it could predict how certain weather forms effect housing materials.
What effect does gravity have on bridges?
The primary effect of gravity on a bridge is that it keeps it "in place" in the wind. The massive weight of the bridge is a key part of its structure and of its structural integrity. Certainly gravity acts to "pull the bridge down" in effect, but we use that to stabilize the structure, turning a "negative" into a "positive" in that light. Gravity transfers forces to the structures that support the bridge, and, in the case of (most) suspension bridges, hold the ends of the main cables to the massive blocks set to maintain the tension of those cables.
What are the primary and secondary forces responsible for ocean currents?

Analysis of forces on horizontal milling machine?
how to calculate forces on coulmn of horizontal milling machine?
Why does water drop spread on glass surface while mercury does not?
Water has stronger adhesive forces than adhesive forses. Mercury on the other hand has stronger cohesive forces than adhesive. cohesive forces hold molecules of the same substance together , vice-versa for adhesive forces
Water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces?
Yes, water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces.
Capillary rise is due to the action of adhesion . is it right or wrong?
If the shape of the meniscus is concave up then the cohesive forces are weaker than the adhesive forces. If the shape of the menicus is concave down then the adhesive forces are weaker than the cohesive forces. So capillary rise is where adhesive forces are stronger.
What are some forces that can act when in contact?
cohesive force and Adhesive force
Does water bead up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than its adhesive forces?
Yes.
How do weak hydrogen bonds between water have an effect on organisms?
A combination of adhesive and cohesive forces accounts for capillary action, which is the tendency of water to move through narrow tube's, and even against gravity.
What cohesive and adhesive forces draw water from the roots to the different parts of the plants?
Surface tension; Capillary action; and Turgor Pressure.
2 How can you explain Cohesion and adhesion in term of water molecules?
Water has both cohesive and adhesive forces. They are similar.The cohesive of water describes how the molecules of water are attracted to one another. We observe the cohesive forces of water when we see a drop of water sitting on a surface. The water does not spread because the molecules are attracted to one another. Surface tension of water is due to its cohesive properties.The cohesive forces of water are due to hydrogen bonding between molecules.Adhesive properties of water are how the molecules are attracted to other substances. We observe the adhesive forces of water when we see the edge of water in a glass is attracted up on the sides of the glass. This is most apparent when the diameter of the glass vessel is less than a centimetre. It is called a meniscus. Trees use this adhesive property of water to help suck water up from the ground. If the diameter of the glass is small enough, as in a glass capillary, the water will rise up the tube by itself due to adhesive forces.
What do Cohesion and Adhesion have to do with Capillary action?
The liquid rises up due to the forces of adhesion between the capillary and liquid.. It rises till the extent when adhesive and cohesive forces and external forces balance each other...
Are cohesive forces greater than adhesive forces?
yes, as the molecular force is attractive at larger distance apart in case of similar molecules rather than dissimilar molecules. Kamal panda_kamal@rediff.com
Why a drop of water adopts sperical shape?
Cohesive forces in given case are greater than adhesive forces. So water molecules form spherical shape. This behavior is more prominent in mercury.
Why does drop of water appear like pearl?
A drop of water appears like a pearl due to the cohesive forces among its molecules. Forces of attraction between water molecules and other molecules called adhesive forces.
