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.
What happens if a straw is immersed in a liquid whose density is less than of water?
If a straw is immersed in a liquid with a density less than that of water, the liquid will not be able to support the weight of the straw, and the straw will float. The liquid's lower density means it exerts less buoyant force on the straw compared to water. As a result, the straw may remain partially submerged or float on the surface, depending on its material and design.
What is the action that adhesion produces when you place a straw through a liquid?
When you place a straw through a liquid, adhesion causes the liquid molecules to cling to the sides of the straw. This interaction creates a meniscus, allowing the liquid to rise slightly within the straw due to capillary action. This phenomenon occurs because the adhesive forces between the liquid molecules and the straw material are stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules themselves.
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.
Why you can drink from a drinking straw?
You can drink from a straw because it creates a pressure difference when you suck on it. By drawing air out of the straw, you reduce the air pressure inside it, allowing atmospheric pressure to push the liquid up into the straw and into your mouth. This principle of pressure differential enables the liquid to flow upward against gravity.
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?
To drink from a straw you need an opening for the atmospheric pressure to push into so it can displace the amount of liquid you are sipping in. Without an opening it is near impossible to suck the contents out because there is no pressure helping you displace the air then liquid you are trying to suck out of 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 (:
