What laws of Physics allows a siphon to work?
A siphon is technically powered by gravity. Once a tube is flowing, if there is more volume of fluid being dropped to a lower level, the gravity can take over and continue the flow. From the fluid escaping from the outbound side, it develops a negative pressure on the other side that continues to supply the fluid to drop with, and continuously take advantage of the gravitational weight. The friction of the fluid will eventually stop the siphon, but if the tube is dropping down low enough from the original liquid source, the extra gravity force can keep it going forever.
How does the water flow in a sink?
Water flows in a sink due to gravity pulling it downward. When the faucet is turned on, water is released and flows down the drain due to the force of gravity.
How does the principle of lift contribute to what keeps a plane in the air?
The principle of lift is what allows a plane to stay in the air. When air flows over the wings of the plane, it creates a force called lift that pushes the plane upward. This force counteracts the force of gravity, keeping the plane airborne.
What force pulls water downhill?
Gravity is the force that pulls water downhill. Water flows downhill along the path of least resistance due to the pull of gravity towards the Earth's center.
What is Gravity weathering?
I am not 100% sure, but I believe it is when gravity pick something up and it knocks against the rock, eroding it. It sometimes makes a small hole in the middle, and it sometimes causes there to be a part missing from the top of the rock.
Is there any waterfall that flows upward?
Of course not, there is gravity on earth.
What is back siphonage?
When a siphon flows the wrong way.

Oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called A viscosity B capillarity C meniscusity D density?
B. Capillarity. Capillarity is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces, such as gravity. This property explains why oil moves upward in a wick against the force of gravity.
Why does the nile flow upward?
The river does not flow upwards. The Earth is round, the Nile simply flows South to North - on a map it just looks like it flows "upward"
Is there a river that flows against gravity?
Usually, there are only small portions of a river that flows against the slope of the land , or gravity. I work at a park on the White River in Hamilton County IN. We are in a huge bend in the river and the White River flows northward at this point, against the slope for about a 1/4 of a mile. This happens on the St. Joseph River in northern Indiana and a co-worker tells me the Cuyahoga in Ohio also has this phenomena. I reckon it is an uncommon, but not rare, situation.
Why water flows downwards?
Water flows downwards due to Earth's gravity.
Water flows in a river because of?
Gravity
Oil flows upward in the wick of a latern becuase of a liquid property called what?
Due to capillarity, oil flows upward in the lantern. The attraction of liquid molecules in the oil between each other and with the wick is known as capillarity.
Define upward communication?
Upward communication is the natural direction that information flows in an organized structure from the bottom to the top with no or little message distortion.
Oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called?
capillarity
Oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid proprty called?
density
