Gravity for starters. Also, one must consider that water on glass has a coefficient of friction that is very low, therefore causing it to flow very freely to the lowest point.

I have something to add to this.

It is gravity, but its the viscosity level that makes water fill the bottom of the glass.

What is a aqueous bulge?

An aqueous bulge is a bulge that occurs in water. There is one on each side of the earth, one facing the moon and the other facing away from the moon, causing tides to occur.


What is the water droplets on the side of the glass called?

Water droplets on the side of a glass are called condensation. This occurs when warm, moist air comes in contact with a cold surface, causing the moisture in the air to cool and form droplets on the surface of the glass.


What causes the bulge in the top of an ice cube?

The bulge at the top of an ice cube is caused by the expansion of water as it freezes. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure that pushes molecules apart, leading to the formation of the bulge.


It is not ideal to put boiling water on a drinking glass since it may break. Is it true Why or why not?

Yes, it is true. Putting boiling water in a drinking glass can create thermal shock, causing the glass to break. The sudden change in temperature can expand or contract the glass too quickly, leading to cracking or shattering. It is safer to use heat-resistant glassware designed to withstand high temperatures.


How do you measure all the water in your glass?

*Weigh the empty glass ( For Accurate Result - Dry the Glass in a Drier to remove moisture and then weigh) * Fill it with water and Weigh * get the Exact weight of the water ( whatever level the glass may be filled) *Use relationship b/w Voulme,Mass and Density of Water @ Temperature to find out the Volume of the water U filled up! Volume = Density * Mass will give u exactly what u want !

When you overfill your glass with water and theres a slight bulge at the top of the glass you are witnessing the property of water?

Surface tension. This phenomenon is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules. The surface tension of water allows it to form a slightly raised "bulge" at the top of a glass when overfilled before spilling over.

The moon's gravity attracts the water.


Why doesn't soapy water bulge from the sides of a glass?

Water, as other liquids, has "surface tension" which tries to pull the water into the smallest volume. When put into a glass the surface of the water behaves as if it has a skin. However, that part around the circumference of the glass where the water touches the glass tries to climb the glass, so creating a "meniscus". If you add soap to water its surface tension is greatly reduced so it is less able to form a curved upwards meniscus where it meets the glass.


What side does the water glass go on?

The water glass typically goes on the right side of the place setting. It is placed above the dinner knife and to the right of the wine glass, following the traditional table setting guidelines.


What best explains why water is able to stick to the side of glass?

Water is able to stick to the side of glass due to adhesion, which is the attractive force between water molecules and the molecules of the glass surface. This is also aided by the polar nature of water molecules, which allows them to form hydrogen bonds with the molecules in the glass, creating surface tension that holds the water in place.


On what sides does bulge in the earth's oceans appear on earth?

The bulges in the Earth's oceans, known as tidal bulges, occur on the side of the Earth facing the Moon and the side opposite the Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon causes water to be drawn toward it, creating a bulge on the near side. Simultaneously, a second bulge forms on the far side due to the inertia of the water, as the Earth is pulled slightly toward the Moon. This results in high tides in both locations, while areas perpendicular to these bulges experience low tides.
