Would the addition of water help you see the coin if lights traveled faster in water than in air?
No. The only effect would be that a pencil, a ruler, or a soda straw dipped into the water would appear to bend toward you under the water, rather than away from you as it does now.
Why do the water in a drinking straw does not drip out when you press the top of the straw with your thumb or finger tip?
Because under your thumb, inside the straw, there is now a vacuum which keeps the water in.
Why does the straw in the water look broken?
Due to the phenomenon of refraction being caused; straw appears to be bent in water.
Why does a straw bends when you put it in a glass of water?
The light gets refracted in water. Thus the shape of the straw seems to be bent.
If you put a straw into a glass of water the straw looks to be bent although nothing has physically happened to the straw?
That is not strictly correct. The straw has undergone physical change: it is wet!
How do you bend a straw without blocking it?
bye straws that are already bent
Why does a straw appear to bend in water?
the air in the liquid is blocked off by your mouth when its on the straw so when u sip the flow of air and carbons bring the liquid thorugh the straw through capillary action http://www.answers.com/topic/capillary-action-1
How did Joseph Friedman invent the bendy straw?

What is an analogy for bend?
A bend is like when a straw bends under pressure, changing its shape from straight to curved.
Why does a straw appear bent in a cup of water?
A straw looks "bent" when it's in water because water causes light to "change course" when it moves from air into the water. The light will again be caused to change course when it leaves the water to go back into air. This is called refraction. Refraction is a fundamental property exhibited by a wave that changes mediums through which it is traveling.Or, making it simple..A straw seems bent because water is denser than air, so when it changes from air to water is applied it seems bent.
Why does a straw appear to be bent in a glass of water?
This is due to the principle of refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary of the two media air and water. When a light ray hits this boundary at an angle, it changes direction and seems to bend. So. the straw appear bent when we look at it through the water glass because light is being bent as it passes through the different media of air, water, and the glass.
How do you operate a water filter straw to purify water for drinking?
You can put the straw into the water and then suck, the water will come out filtered.
Which are demonstrated by water moving up a straw?
The power of suction is what is demonstrated by water moving up a straw. When you suck through a straw, the water has nowhere to go but up.

What happens to the level of water in the straw when you squeezed the bottle?
When you put a straw in a water bottle I think the straw stinks and then when you let go of breathing in the water bottle I think it increases and then after that I think when you boil water and then you put the straw in the bottle and put the boiling hot water in the bottle and then I think the straw is like cutting it thanks for reading this but I think it's the wrong answer sorry if it is
