Why an air bubble in water burst as it emerges on water surface?

An air bubble in water bursts at the surface due to a decrease in surface tension. As the bubble rises, the water surrounding it is dragged along, stretching and thinning the surface layer. When the bubble reaches the surface, this thin layer breaks, causing the bubble to burst.


How does air bubble inside the water behave and why?

When an air bubble is released underwater, it will rise to the surface due to buoyancy. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in it. As the air bubble rises, the water pressure decreases and the bubble expands in size until it reaches the surface.


Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of glass?

An air bubble rises to the surface of a glass of water due to buoyancy. The buoyant force acting on the bubble is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, causing it to move upwards until it reaches the surface.


Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of a glass water?

An air bubble rises to the surface of water due to buoyancy. The density of air is lower than the density of water, causing the air bubble to experience an upward force that makes it float towards the surface. This is also known as the principle of Archimedes.


What happen to gas bubble volume as they rise in water?

As gas bubbles rise in water, the water pressure decreases, causing the bubbles to expand in volume. This is because the surrounding water pressure decreases as the bubbles move closer to the surface. The buoyant force acting on the bubbles also increases as they rise, causing them to expand further.


When a stone is dropped into water what is the name of the spike or droplet of water that rises above the surface as a result?

The spike or droplet of water that rises above the surface when a stone is dropped into water is called a "crown splash" or "crown". It occurs due to the displacement of water caused by the sudden impact of the stone.


What is called when you fart under water?

The air comes out of your anus, and the bubble escapes to the surface as gas is lighter than water! donnyy@kellisgifts.com


When ground water is heated by a nearby body of magma rises to the surface and collects in a natural pool what is it called?

It is called a hot spring. As the groundwater heated by the nearby magma rises to the surface, it releases heat and minerals, creating a pool of warm water that is often enjoyed for its therapeutic benefits.


A well in which groundwater rises because of pressure is called an?

if the water rises above the surface without any help, it's an artesan well


Why does potential energy when water bubble rises from water?

This is rather complicated, as it involves work being done by the force of buoyancy. One way to look at this is to imagine the bubble as a balloon having a negligible weight relative to the weight of the air it contains. In air, this imaginary balloon weighs nothing because (by Archimedes Principle) it is buoyed up by a force exactly equal to the weight of the air it displaces. Now submerge this "balloon" in water. So long as it is submerged, the "balloon" will experience a buoyancy force upward (i.e., towards the surface of the water) equal to the weight of the water it displaces minus the weight of the air due to gravity. The buoyancy force (Fb) will accelerate the air in the bubble at a constant rate upward. Since work is equal to force times distance, the amount of work, W, done in moving the air in the bubble from some submerged position, xo, to a position at the surface, xs, will be W=Fb *(xs-xo). The difference in position is just the depth, d, of the bubble relative to the water surface, so W=Fb*d. One can regard this quantity as the potential energy, PE, of the submerged air bubble: PE=Fb*d. If we correctly note that the weight of the air in the bubble is insignificant relative to the weight of the water it displaces, we can say that PE is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced times the depth of the bubble. (The depth of the bubble is the depth relative to the center of the sphere described by the bubble.) This is the energy that will be imparted to the air in the bubble as it rises in the water. Conversely, this is also how much energy it will take to move the bubble from its position at the water surface to a certain depth. Things get really complicated as the bubble emerges from the water, because the buoyancy force reduces from the weight of the displaced water to zero, but this will usually be a very small effect.


What is the path called that water follows as it leaves the earth rises into the air and returns to the earth?

The path water follows is called the water cycle. Water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rises into the air, condenses to form clouds, and then falls back to the Earth as precipitation in the form of rain or snow.


How do you know if it's a water bubble?

My thought is that if it expands when rising to the surface, expands when the water is heated, or clings to another solid surface in water (such as the glass wall or a straw) and coalesces with others, it is probably a water bubble. ===============================
