How does a drop of water get its shape?

If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules are pulling inward toward each other, and tend to stick to each other. So when not confined by a container and with nothing around it to distort its shape a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like a ball. If the drop is larger like a raindrop, it has domed top and semi- flattened bottom because as it falls, it must push the air out of its way. It is that upward push of the air being displaced that causes the falling drop to have a rather flattened bottom, so that it looks like a tear drop. the bits of water piles up. this makes the dome shapes


Do pebbles and sand drop to the bottom of water to form a mixed layer?

Yes, pebbles and sand are denser than water, so they will sink to the bottom. Over time, they can form a mixed layer as the smaller particles settle in between the larger pebbles.


How does this show that the water is denser than lavender oil.?

Add a drop of water: when it is thinking down to the bottom then it is heavier, when lighter it will stay on the upper surface, when density is equal then it floats in the middle.


What is the solubility of diesel in water?

Diesel has essentially zero solubility in water. That is the origin of the saying, "oil and water don't mix."


What will happen if you drop a piece of chalk and a sponge into a glass of water?

The chalk will sink to the bottom of the glass, as it is denser than water. The sponge will initially float on the surface due to its lower density, but over time it will absorb water and eventually sink.

What happens if there is water in the diesel fuel?

How to Find the Best Diesel Car for You?

There are a number of different diesel cars out there, and the type of diesel car you get will be thoroughly dependent on where you live. For example, some diesel cars can get extraordinary gas mileage, but they run off a water cooling system. In places that see the temperature drop below freezing on a regular basis, this type of diesel car may not be the best diesel car for you.


What is the definition of stream gradient?

A) the distance traveled by water in a channel times a drop in elevation b) the drop in elevation of a stream divided by the distance the water travels c) the water pressure at the bottom of the stream divided by the stream's width d) the increase in discharge of a stream per unit drop in elevation


Will an egg break if you drop it inside water?

No, an egg will not break if you drop it in water as long as the water is deep enough to cushion the fall and prevent the egg from hitting the bottom with force. The water acts as a cushion and reduces the impact on the egg, preventing it from breaking.


How does water deposit sediment?

Water deposits sediment through a process called sedimentation where particles carried by the water settle on the bottom of a water body. This can happen when the velocity of the water decreases, allowing the particles to drop out of suspension. Over time, sediment can accumulate and form layers on the bottom.


Does diesel turn in to water after defrost?

No diesel is a petroleum byproduct and is not water. If there had been water in the diesel fuel, it may separate after a freeze and thaw.


What is heavier diesel fuel or water?
