A water drop is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules tend to stick to each other.

∙ 12y agowater droplets are round because of the surface tension on the water that resist the gravity of the earth.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBecause the surface tension of the water droplet and the surface where the water droplet is on is very high.

∙ 15y agoWhen water droplets fall from a cloud the bottom expands due to the high speed and a tail forms behind it, so water droplets are not exactly circles but they are rounded at the bottom.

When HCL is added to water why does the pH level drop so fast?
HCl is an acid. The hydrogen part of the molecule makes it so. A pH below 7 is acidic and a pH above 7 is basic. It makes sense that adding an acid to water would lower the pH.
When a drop of phenolphthalein is introduced in lime water the solution turns?
When a drop of phenolphthalein is introduced in lime water the solution turns pink in colour.

When you put a paperclip on water and then put one drop of soap why does it sink?
The soap makes the water less dense so the clip sinks. If the object weighs more than the water it takes to fill up the room of the object, it sinks. Other way around with flaoting.
Why pour acid into water while stirring but never add water to acid?
Because when you drop water into acid the acid is too concentrated so it has to let out a reaction to drop the concentration.
what is trip that one drop of water makes as it goes around the water cycle?
Water drop travels from land and water bodies to air. it then returns back to the soil.

What property of water molecules give them the round like shape on a leaf?
the surface tension of water is responsible for spherical shape of a drop.
When you drop a marble in water what happens?
It makes a splash and the floor may get wet.
Is a drop of water considered matter?
Yes, matter makes up all tangible objects.
How does a drop of water get its shape?
If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules are pulling inward toward each other, and tend to stick to each other. So when not confined by a container and with nothing around it to distort its shape a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like a ball. If the drop is larger like a raindrop, it has domed top and semi- flattened bottom because as it falls, it must push the air out of its way. It is that upward push of the air being displaced that causes the falling drop to have a rather flattened bottom, so that it looks like a tear drop. the bits of water piles up. this makes the dome shapes
How traditional aboriginals boil water?
they would roast a round granite rock in a fire until it glowed with heat than they would drop it into the water that they needed boiled
How do you measure the volume of one drop of water?
To measure a drop of water you should get a measuring cylender. Say you put 100 drops to make the results more accurate. Lets say 100 drops of water in a measuring cylender would show 200cm^3 . So to find the volume of 1 drop of water instead of 100 you would divide 200 by 100 which would give you 2cm^3 for 1 drop of water
How do you use marble nail polish?
If you mean how to make it. Get a small round tub of room temperature water. Choose your nail polish colours. Drop a drop of polish into the water. It should spread out. Then drop a drop of the other polish. Carry on until you think it is enough. Get a toothpick and draw your pattern then dip your nails in and remove the left over polish
What size table cloth for a 8 foot round table?
For a 12" drop (overhang) use a 120" round. For about an 18" drop, use a 132" round. These are the largest standard sizes I know of.
Dose every water drop follow the same path?
It can and it sometimes it can't. It depends if the water drop was close to it. If was close to it the water drop would attrack the next water drop you drop
Would frequency remain the same in water?
No if you say drop a heavy rock out of water it would make a loud low bang but in water it makes a higher pitched noise.
