What else can I help you with?
Would it be possible to drink from a straw a mile long?
Yes, but it would have to be tilted, almost flat. You can only drink through it if your mouth is not more than 33 feet higher than the surface of the liquid that you're drinking through the straw.
Can you sip the same amount of liquid through many straws at once as one straw?
No, sipping through many straws at once would not allow you to drink the same amount of liquid as through one straw. The total surface area of many straws would be greater than that of one straw, resulting in a slower flow rate of liquid.
Assuming that you could survive in outer space without a space suit would it be possible to drink using a straw explain y or why not?
No. The action of a drinking through a straw is that you suck the air out of the straw, and the air pressure on the outside of the cup them pushes the liquid up the straw. If there were no air pressure on the surface of the liquid, then there wouldn't be anything to cause the liquid to rise. However; 1. If there were no air pressure, the liquid would boil and vaporize; there wouldn't be any liquid to drink. 2. In weightlessness, you can't suck water through a straw even IN atmosphere; the liquid forms globules under the influence of its own surface tension. On the Space Station, the astronauts drink from sealed bulbs; sort of like juice pouches. You squeeze the pouch to push the liquid into your mouth.
Why does Soda straw doesn't draw liquid if there is a tiny hole at its upper end?
That's because you suck in air instead. From an energy standpoint, energy gets wasted by the incoming air. But if the holes are rather small, and you suck strongly, you might still manage to suck in some liquid. Actually this is rather easy to explain, when you suck at a straw, you create a vacuum in your mouth. This makes the nearest molecules flow there. Like high and low pressure zones that create wind flows. But then with water via a straw. When there are holes in your straw, the first thing that is getting sucked in, is the air around you and the straw. Basically, you are wasting energy. The best thing to do is just get a new straw and enjoy your drink!
What does adhesion produce an effect of when you place a straw in a liquid?
Adhesion causes the liquid to rise slightly in the straw, creating a meniscus. This phenomenon occurs due to the attractive forces between the liquid molecules and the straw surface, which causes the liquid to climb up the straw slightly before reaching equilibrium.
When you drink a soft drink with the help of a straw what forces the liquid up the straw?
When you suck on a straw, you decrease the air pressure inside the straw, creating a partial vacuum. The higher air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw then pushes the liquid up the straw and into your mouth.
How is it possible to drink liquid by a straw?
Suction.
Why it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?
It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
Why can't we suck a cold drink through a straw on the moon?
Sucking through a straw relies on atmospheric pressure to push the liquid up. In the airless environment of the moon, there is no atmospheric pressure to assist in the suction action, making it impossible to drink through a straw.
What role does atmospheric pressure play when someone is drinking a liquid through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. because there is less air the pressure of the straw is reduced. but the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid remains the same. henceforth how it helps you drink
How can you drink from a straw when there's no forces that suck?
You create a pressure difference in your mouth by lowering the air pressure inside when you inhale. This pressure difference causes the liquid to rise up the straw and into your mouth. The difference in pressure is what allows you to drink the liquid through the straw.
How does straw function while drink?
When you 'suck' on a straw, you reduce the air pressure inside it. This means the air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw is greater - so it pushes down, which forces liquid up the straw into your mouth.
Would it be possible to drink from a straw a mile long?
Yes, but it would have to be tilted, almost flat. You can only drink through it if your mouth is not more than 33 feet higher than the surface of the liquid that you're drinking through the straw.
Why can't you drink through a straw in a sealed container?
When you try to drink through a straw in a sealed container, you create a vacuum within the container. The vacuum prevents the liquid from being able to flow through the straw because there is no air pressure to push it up. Essentially, the lack of air pressure inside the sealed container makes it impossible for the liquid to move up the straw.
Why is it difficult to drink liquid with a straw with holes in it?
because when you suck up the liquid, it will just go right through the holes.
Why can you drink through a straw?
because there is a gap throgh it therefore liquid can pass through it (:
How do you use pressure to sip a drink through a straw?
When you create a vacuum in your mouth by sucking on the straw, you lower the air pressure in the straw. This pressure difference causes the liquid to rise up the straw and into your mouth, allowing you to sip the drink.
