Why water drops that fall on a surface tend to form rounded drops or beads?
The inherent property of any substance is to aggregate together, which is caused by Van der Waals' forces. These forces cause the molecules to be held together and create surface tension, in the case of liquids. When you drop water onto a surface, the water molecules adhere together due to holding those forces and try to come closer. Geometrically, a sphere has the greatest surface area to volume ratio, which is also the most stable shape for liquids to conform into. Thus, you get rounded drops or beads.
Consider drops of water that leak from a dripping faucet As the drops fall they?
get farther apart
Why does a fire have a grate underneath it?
To allow air to get to the wood and to allow ash to fall away thus allowing the heat to access unburned material
Why do small drops of water float in air?
A small object has a larger surface area (in proportion to its weight) than a larger one. Therefore, a small object, like a small drop of water, will fall slower - it has more air resistance (again, in proportion to its weight). However, it will not float indefinitely; it will simply take longer to get to the ground.
Is the bounce of a ball affected by the surface it bounces on?
Its GREATLY affected by the surface it bounces on!If you bounce it on a soft or cushioned surface like a shag carpet, the carpet will absorb a lot of the impact, and the ball will not bounce as high.On the other hand, if you bounce it on concrete, the ball's fall is not cushioned nearly as much, and as a result, bounces much higher.

Why does liquid fall as drops?
The molecules are more attracted to each other than to the surrounding air.
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing fall as?
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
What has the shape of its own?
when a liquid is placed in a container it takes the shape of the container. raindrops and teardrops are a shape that liquids have when you use a dropper, when drops of water fall from a faucet
How does the amount of weight put on the body of the paper helicopter change how fast it drops?
it doesnt. it may affect how fast it lifts off, but not how fast it drops. now, if you had said weight put inside the body of a helecopter, then it would have made a difference because of the relationship between surface area and mass. if you have alot of surface area and alittle mass, then you fall slowly, if you have alittle surface area and alot of mass, then you fall quickly. in the same way, if you have alot of surface area and alot of mass, then you would fall at the same speed as somethign with a little mass and a little surface area.
