Water isn't wet by itself, but it makes other materials wet when it sticks to the surface of them.
It is difficult to unscrew the top of a bottle when your hands are wet because water creates a slippery layer between your hand and the bottle cap, making it harder to get a good grip. This reduced friction makes it more challenging to apply the necessary force to twist and open the bottle.
no, water is lighter than mercury
A reflection is always in water but doesn't get wet.
When your hands are wet or soapy, the friction between your hands and the bottle decreases, making it harder to grip and unscrew the tap. Additionally, the water or soap can create a slippery barrier that reduces your ability to apply the necessary force and torque needed to twist off the tap.
Mercury is a metal unlike water which have hydrogen bonding. Mercury does not wet most substances, because of its high cohesion and low adhesion to the glass mercury will not wet glass. Cohesion, along with adhesion(attraction between unlike molecules), can help explain mercury phenomena. Mercury has a surface energy over 6 times greater than that of water so there is a much greater attractive force between the atoms of mercury than between the molecules of water, so mercury does not wet glass.
Water is a good conductor of electricity. A person with wet hands touching electrical appliances get a shock.So it is dangerous to touch an electric appliance with wet hands.
wet you hands with water just a little bit...
allergies to water
Your hands would be wet.
wet work is when youhave your hands in contact with water for longer than 2hours
because the water from your hands conduct the electricity and will probably electrocute you
Mercury is warm but Mars is not there could be water on Mars there are ice sheets on the N/S poles of Mars too
Because water is a conductor, and water dripping from your hands may drip down to an energized circuit, and effectively create a trail from that circuit to your hands, causing you to get electrocuted.
Water isn't wet by itself, but it makes other materials wet when it sticks to the surface of them.
Water can conduct electricity ( if it is an electrolyte, as most tap water is) so you shouldn't touch electrical appliances with wet hands, or put them near water in case the water completes a circuit from the appliance, resulting in a live circuit. if you touch a live circuit that could result in electrocution.
Well get your hands wet then put soap in your hands rub together then by your pinky's open a little then blow out that hole and you have a bubble out of soap and water! Try it sometime! :)
