The speed in which an air bubble will travel upwards in water will depend on how small the bubble is and the elevation in which the bubble is being released. The smaller the bubble, the faster it will travel upwards.Ê

Can water travel upwards?

water cannot travel upwards, because 1) gravity 2) there is a property of water that does not allow it to flow upwards Water can move upwards by capillary action, forced upwards by a pump or natural geyser, it can be carried upwards and can rise in the form of steam or vapour.


What makes water travel up in a tree?

The adhesion property of water and diffusion allows water to travel upwards, but xylems are the "pipes" that carry that water up and throughout the plant.


Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?

No, it is not possible to travel at the speed of light in water. Light travels at a slower speed in water compared to its speed in a vacuum, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. The speed of light in water is approximately 225,000 kilometers per second.


Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of glass?

An air bubble rises to the surface of a glass of water due to buoyancy. The buoyant force acting on the bubble is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down, causing it to move upwards until it reaches the surface.


How fast does an air-bubble travel in fresh or salt water?

I love this question! It's one of those, "Well, obviously...Um... what?" questions. So let's break it down: We'll assume the bubble is hollow (it isn't, but might as well be given the difference between air and water densities). Archimedes' Principle says that it will be buoyed up by the weight of the water that it displaces. This means that the upward force exerted on this bubble will be the same as the downward force that would be exerted if the bubble contained water. So the bubble gets accelerated towards the surface of the water at the same rate as a rain drop of the same volume would fall to the water from the sky (gravity applying to both). Ever notice in those undersea scuba films that the bubbles hover near the mask before taking off? That's acceleration at work. So when you ask, "How fast?" I have to ask in return "When?" Because the bubble will be moving faster the farther it travels upward.Since salt water is denser than fresh water, the bubble will displace more weight, but that's irrelevant, because it's still accelerated by gravity. A ship sitting in fresh water will sit lower than it will in salt water, but that's about weight displacement, not bubbles. Bubbles will rise at the same rate in either medium, if we set aside things like viscosity.Great question.


A bottle is filled with water and air and is tied to a string and is rotated in horizontal direction Then in which direction will air bubble travel?

The air bubble will travel in the direction opposite to the rotation of the bottle. This is because the rotation motion causes the water to move towards the outer edge of the bottle, displacing the air up towards the center where the bubble is released.

I think the hot water bubble flies fastest than cold water bubble.


How can I create a mesmerizing water bubble light display for a special event?

To create a mesmerizing water bubble light display for a special event, you can use a combination of water bubble machines and LED lights. Place the bubble machines strategically around the venue and add colored LED lights to enhance the visual effect. Adjust the speed and intensity of the bubble machines to create a captivating display that will impress your guests.


How fast can light travel in water?

Does water travel up?

Yes, water can travel upwards through a process called capillary action, where water moves against the force of gravity through small spaces in a material. This phenomenon is seen in plants, where water moves from the roots to the leaves through capillary action.


Are you under water at supersonic speed?

Speed has nothing to do with where you are. You can travel at supersonic speed pretty much anywhere if you have the right vehicle.


Does a water bubble act as a lens?

it depends upon the level of water which produces the bubble. when there is less water,the bubble acts like a lens
