What is upward. Forces of a liquid?

Buoyancy.


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

Suction.


Why does sucking on a straw make the liquid come up?

When you suck on a straw the pressure at the top of the straw becomes lower than the pressure at the bottom, which forces liquid up.


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.


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.


The relationship between the upward and downward forces exerted on an object in a liquid is called?

buoyancy


What does adhesion produce an effect of when you place a straw in a liquid?

Adhesion produces the effect of capillary action when a straw is placed in liquid. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.


The relationship between the upward and downward forces exerted in liquids is given by the liquid's what?

A liquid's buoyancy is determined by its specific gravity (density).


What is a straw colored liquid in the circulatory system?

The straw colored liquid is called the plasma.


How does the last amount of liquid in a straw get into your mouth when the cup is empty and there is no more surface liquid for atmospheric pressure to work on forcing the liquid up the straw?

Air pressure within the straw.


What forces make things float?

Gravity. When you place something on a liquid, and it is less dense than the liquid, gravity pulling down on the liquid forces the object to float.


How do you make a straw that won't work?

Sabotaging a StrawPutting one or more pinholes in the straw, above the level of the liquid, will allow air to enter the straw at the top, and the liquid will not rise in the straw. To use this "sabotaged straw", merely switch ends (flip it over) so that the pinholes go under the liquid.
