How long does it take for a 1 pint of water to evaporate?
4 main factors affect evaporation surface area of the container,temperature of liquid, wind speed above the water and humidity of air above the water.
The reaction of both cohesion and adhesion together which allows water to move through tubes against the force of gravity?
syphoning
Will water evaporate in a closed container like a closed pipe?
Water can be evaporated from a sealed container.
What properties of water help water move up the roots of a tree to the leaves of a tree against the force of gravity?
because of the signals from the tree it allows the water to move..
What materials do you need to make an egg float in salt water?
An egg with an intact shell, warm water, a lot of table salt (NaCl), a suitable container to hold the above. Pour the (warm) water to the container, stir while adding salt to the water, keep adding salt until no more will dissolve (This is a saturated solution), allow to cool & gently place egg into the salt water.
Why doesn't water fall out of a container when you spin it 360 degrees?
The force that holds water in the container is called centripetal force. It is not specific to water, it affect anything spun in a circle. The water has inertia, which means it wants to continue in the direction that its moving - if you were to let go, the water would fly forward in its current direction. And not only does your container keep the water from flying off, it also keeps changing the direction the water wants to go. If you spin the container fast enough, centripetal force can beat the force of gravity. Its as if the water is being endlessly thrown into the bottom of the container.
The addition of water vapor as the air passes?
Water in a container consists of liquid in the container and water vapor above the container. As the air passes, it carries off the water vapor above the water and the water in the container replenishes it. Moving air blows water vapor away much faster than still air. As a result, a plate with water in it will dry faster if air is blowing on it than a plate will if no air is blowing on it.
Which force allows things to float in water?
nothing
What force allows water to arrive at your house from the water treatment plant?
The hydraulic force of water allows water to be transported in the pipes. Hydraulic force from the water treatment plant is used to pump the water vertically across the underground pipes. Then, another hydraulic force pumps the water from underground to the storey that you are living in horizontally up.
What feature do Pelican Cases boast?
The feature that Pelican Cases boast is an airtight container that is able to stay afloat in water. It allows air to pass through the container and keeps water out.
State Archimedes' principle and give an example of how you could determine a buoyant force?
Archimedes stated that any object set in water will experience a force of buoyancy equal to the weight of the water displaced.To determine the buoyancy force of an object, follow the procedure below. You will need:Two containersAn accurate scale1. Find a container as least as wide and as deep as the object in question, and then find a second container that is wide and deep enough to catch spilled water from the first container. For example, use a measuring cup as the small container, and a cake pan for the larger container.2. Weigh the larger container. Write down this measurement - you will need it in step 8.3. Rest the smaller container in the middle of the larger container.4. Fill the smaller container completely and exactly full with water, such that the smaller container cannot hold any more water without spilling over. Be certain not to spill any water into the larger container during this step.5. Gently place the object in question in the smaller container - do not drop it into the water. Allow it to immerse into the water gently so that it does not splash. As you place the object in the smaller container, water will spill over the top of the container, and will be captured by the larger container.6. After the object in question comes to rest in or on top of the water, remove the object, again being careful not to spill or splash any water over the edge of the smaller container while removing the object.7. Remove the smaller container from the larger container.8. Now weigh the larger container with the water in it, and subtract the weight you measured in step 2 from this weight. The difference in weight is the weight of the water alone..The buoyancy force is the weight of the water you calculated in step 8.
Do I require more energy to heat sea water or fresh water?
No difference until boiling point. Sea water boils slighly above 100 degrees at sea level depending on it's concentration. Lowering atmospheric pressure above the boiling container allows it to boil at a much lower temperature. This is partly how water desalination plants work.
What is a zero adjust scale?
I believe that it is a scale that allows you to set the "zero point". For example, if you are weighing an amount of water you would place the empty container on the scale, zero it, and then fill the container with water.
What driving force allows salt to dissolve in water?
Natural diffusion
How would you know if a liquid was denser than water?
because when you add it to water, it will go to the bottom of the container and the water will float above it
Do penguins have organs above there eyes?
Yes, penguins have organs above their eyes. It allows salt water to be converted into fresh water.
Water can pile up short distance above a container's rim due to?
High suface tension
