How does the pressure exerted by a liquid vary with direction and depth?
The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with depth. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. The pressure variation with direction is isotropic, meaning it is the same regardless of the direction taken in the liquid.
How does tension occur?
Tension headaches can be caused by many things. Dehydration, stress, lack of sleep are some of the more common causes. It is best to see a doctor to diagnose your headaches, especially if they are prolonging.
What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a woman who weighs 500 N at the surface of earth?
The magnitude of the force is 500 N. The direction is toward the center of the earth, i.e. downward.
What is the force that atcs in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object?
Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
What is the force that acts on the surface of a liquid?
surface tension
What is the force that's acts on the surface of a liquid?
surface tension
What force acts on the particles of the surface of a liquid?
its surface tension
What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
What is the water tension?
Cohesive forces between liquid molecules on the surface cause a phenomenon known as surface tension. Due to the lack of surrounding molecules, surface molecules adhere more strongly to another than they would inside a liquid. Surface tension is measured in newtons per meter (N/m) or dyne per centimeter (dyn/cm). The formula to figure surface tension is gamma equals the ratio of the surface force to the distance along which the force acts or gamma = F / d. Variables such as temperature and solution purity can cause F to vary. Pure water at 20 degrees (C) has a surface tension of 72.8 dynes/cm.
What makes water have surface tension?
Surface tension is The attraction of molecules to each other on a liquid's surface? Surface tension of water is the physical property of hydrogen bonding that makes the water molecule. The way that this works is that a water molecule (H2O) is a polar molecule. This is because the oxygen has a much higher electronegative value than the hydrogen. This means that the oxygen gets a lot higher 'share' of the shared electrons than the hydrogen does. This gives oxygen a very high partialnegative charge, and the hydrogen a very high partial positive charge. Because of these high partial charges on each end of the molecule, they are very highly attracted to each other
What is ducusate sodium?
docusate sodium A surface-active agent that, when swolowed, reduces the surface tension in the intestinal tract and acts as a stool softener.
What Is the force that acts on the particles of milk at the surface of a glass of milk?
I just did this science worksheet and its surface tension. Yeah. Hope I helped. Bye.
What is it called when a solid flows like a liquid?
Surface tension-Attractive forces cause particles on the surface of a liquid to pull together and resist from being pushed apart. These particles on the surface are pulled toward the center of the liquid and and sideways along the surface. There are no liquid particles above to pull on them. Particles under the surface are pulled in all different directions. Surface tension is the uneven forces acting on the surface particles of a liquid. Surface tension causes a liquid to act like it has a thin film stretched across the surface.
Where does surface tension occur?
surface layer molecules only have attractions downwards and sidewards no upwards attraction is there so the sidewards attraction will acts as a elastic force rusult to surface tension manoj kottakkal
How does the surface affect the motion of an object?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
Explain why a swing needle can float on the surface of water in a glass?
Due to surface tension, the upper surface of water acts like a stretched membrane which enables it to float a swing needle.
