One force I am positive about is surface tension- I can't explain too well because I am barely learning about this. I hope this answer helps you! =)
What else can I help you with?
7 Can the water strider remain afloat in a high concentration of soap solution?
No. It cannot remain afloat in a high concentration of soap solution. The water strider relies on a property of water called surface tension. This is what keeps the creature above the water. In a soap solution, there is reduced surface tension and the strider would drown
How can a water strider effectively walk on water?
A water strider can effectively walk on water due to its long, thin legs and the surface tension of the water. The water strider's legs are covered in tiny hairs that help distribute its weight and prevent it from breaking the water's surface tension. This allows the water strider to stay on top of the water and move quickly across its surface.
Why can a water strider walk on water?
A water strider can walk on water because of its small size and the surface tension of water. The water strider's long, thin legs distribute its weight evenly, allowing it to stay on the surface without breaking through.
Why dont water striders sink?
Surface tension The top molecule on the water forms a skin that will support dust small creatures and even metal objects like needles when they are place on the surface carefully. Surface tension keeps the water strider afloat, and the water strider long legs only pierce the top skin of the water. A lso, the water strider mass is very little which results in them floating.
What forces keeps a water strider on the surface of water?
A water strider stays on the water surface due to surface tension, which is a result of cohesive forces between water molecules. Their hydrophobic legs and lightweight build allow them to move without breaking the water's surface tension. Additionally, their distributed weight helps distribute the force evenly and prevent them from sinking.
What effects result from surface tension of water?
A water strider can walk across the surface of a small pond.
What animal lives on top of the water that is a scavenger?
A creature of the water's surface is the water strider. It uses the surface tension of the water and its long legs to actually walk on the surface.
Is a water strider a hebivore omnivore or a carnivore?
A water strider is a carnivore, feeding mainly on insects that land on the water's surface. They use their legs to detect and capture their prey.
Is a water strider a reptile?
No. A water strider is an insect.
What is the scientific name for the water strider?
The scientific name of water strider is Gerris Remigis
What color is the water strider?
The water strider is usually dark coloured.
Is a water strider a decomposer in science?
yes water strider are decomposers
