What keeps water on a penny?
Surface tension keeps water on a penny even when it goes over the surface of the penny and you think it would spill over the edge due to gravity. I believe surface density is accomplished due to the fact that the hydrogen bonds, for that scale, is stronger than the force of gravity. For more information look at the Related Links below.
The termrefraction means what in terms rainbows?
Water droplets refract different wavelengths of visible light differently. Blue wavelengths are less "bent" than red wavelengths, so the blue portion of the rainbow is towards the inside edge of the rainbow.
What is a result of a tornado in the bottle?
the water swirl and it goes to the another bottle at the edge and the air also
Why cant you cause a floating leaf to move to the edge of a pond by throwing stones behind it?
So long as the stone is not of a large size to cause a bow wave to push the leaf towards the shore, the stone when entering the water causes a depression in the water, a sort of hole if you like. Something has to replace the water and it is the water itself that heals itself so to speak. This draws the water back to fill up the space caused by the stone, also bringing the leaf back to its orriginal position, or near enough.
What other surfaces does water bead up on?
Surfaces on which water beads are called hydrophobic surfaces. That is, the water "fears" the surface. Water tends to bead up on these types of surfaces because it is more strongly attracted to itself (other water molecules) than the surface molecules. Common hydrophobic surfaces include waxes, Teflon, and most plastics.
Are objects in the universe all travelling outwards towards the edge of the universe?
All object are traveling in different direction and speed. If you believe that the universe has edge, then all direction will point to that edge. Unfortunately, no one can really tell if the universe has edge.

Objects that move along a circular path are they accelerated toward the outer edge of the circle?
Actually, objects moving around a circular path have two accelerations i.e. radial acceleration and tangential acceleration. Radial acceleration is towards the radius whereas tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of the tangent to the path of the motion. So, I would say yes, they are accelerated towards the outer edge of the circle.
What property of water allows a dome of water to form over the edge of a glass when you add more water to a glass that is already full?
Surface Tension
How do you change the pitch on a drum?
You start beat towards the edge of the drum.
What solid has 1 vertex and 1 edge and one surface circle?
There is no solid that has those characteristics. To have an edge it must have another surface.
What is the surface area of a cube whose edge is 23.0 centimeters with a possible error of 0.0004 centimeters?
The surface area of a cube with edge 23±0.0004 cm is 3174±0.11 cm.The surface area is edge squared times 6. The surface area at 23.0004 is 3174.1104. The surface area at 22.9996 is 2173.8896.
Will a cork float in the center of water?
Only if the beaker is very full and the surface is rounded. Otherwise, the cork will float to the edge of the container (which is typically the highest part of the water).
Is a flashing kickout at the bottom edge of the roof or wall joint used to keep water from getting behind the stucco or siding?
Kick out" flashings are intended to prevent water from flowing behind a wall or down a vertical surface such as the fascia below a roof's edge by redirecting it a short distance sideways and onto a roof surface or into a gutter
