Why do the water in a drinking straw does not drip out when you press the top of the straw with your thumb or finger tip?
When you press the top of the straw with your thumb or finger tip, the pressure you apply traps air inside the straw, preventing the water from dripping out. The pressure you exert keeps the water forced inside the straw despite gravity trying to pull it down.
Would it be more difficult to draw soda through a straw at sea level or on top of a mountain?
It would be more difficult to draw soda through a straw on top of a mountain because the atmospheric pressure is lower at higher altitudes, making it harder to create the suction needed to pull the liquid up the straw. In contrast, at sea level with higher atmospheric pressure, it would be easier to draw soda through a straw.
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 does the length of a straw affect how high or low the note is?
longer straw, lower noteshorter straw, higher note
Why does a straw bends when you put it in a glass of water?
When you put a straw in a glass of water, the air pressure inside the straw is lower than the atmospheric pressure outside the straw. This pressure difference causes the water to push into the straw, creating a buoyant force that bends the straw.
Is drinking out of a straw push pull or friction?
your face. that's what it is.
If 16 people pull straws what is the percentage of chance that anyone person will pull a short straw?
6.25%
Why does your rabbit pull the straw about his hutch?
My guess would be it is a female rabbit. But, if not perhaps he doesn't like where you have put his straw or he is bored. A female rabbit will do this when she builds her nest.
Do rabbits learn to pull straw to make a bed or is it instinctive?
yes because tey do tati
What does pull a vacuume mean?
pulling out as much of the particals in a given space, as possible. when you put a finger on one end of a straw and suck on the other end the straw collapses; you are pulling a vacuum.
Is a the hole in a ring pull on a can for a drinking straw?
No that's a lie because they also have them on cat food tins

Will it be easier to drink out of a straw from on top of a mountain or in new Orleans?
It will be easier to drink out of a straw from the top of a mountain than from New Orleans. This is because gravity has a stronger pull downward at New Orleans.
What is the rebus puzzle straw straw straw straw straw straw straw?
it means: the last staw
How do adhesion and cohesion explain capillary action?
Surface tension is related to the cohesive properties of water. Capillary action however, is related to the adhesive properties of water. You can see capillary action 'in action' by placing a straw into a glass of water. The water 'climbs' up the straw. What is happening is that the water molecules are attracted to the straw molecules. When one water molecule moves closer to a the straw molecules the other water molecules (which are cohesively attracted to that water molecule) also move up into the straw. Capillary action is limited by gravity and the size of the straw. The thinner the straw or tube the higher up capillary action will pull the water.
My seven yr old asked if gravity play's a role in the movement of grass on the side of a road when a car passes?
A little. Gravity will try to pull every part of the straws down, the wake of the car will try to push them sideways. If a straw is perfectly upright, each part of the straw would be perfectly supported by the part underneath. But as the wake of the car push the straw sideways, gravity will then begin to help bending the straw by pulling each part of it down, and this time there's no straw under to help resist gravity.
