What would happen if you put a straw in a cup of water?
The straw will displace the water, causing the water level inside the straw to rise slightly. When you suck on the straw, you create a vacuum inside it, pulling the water up into the straw and allowing you to drink it without tilting the cup.
Why does the drinking straw does not drip out when you press the top of the straw with your thumb or finger tip?
Your finger prevents air from entering through the top of the straw. As fluid moves down the straw it leaves a void in it's wake, one that is usually immediately filled by air. By preventing the air from entering the top of the straw, the fluid cannot move downwards because to do so would leave a vacuum space between your finger and the fluid; this "sucks" the fluid back in into place and prevents it from decending down the straw.
Suppose that a liquid is 11 times denser than water If you were to sip this liquid at sea level using a straw what would be the maximum length of the straw?
The maximum length of the straw would be approximately 10.1 meters. This is because the pressure due to the density of the liquid would not allow the liquid to be lifted higher than about 10.1 meters using a straw at sea level.
How can you made your own homemade Thermometer?
To make your own homemade thermometer, a person will need a plastic bottle, a clear straw, some putty, water, rubbing alcohol, and food coloring. Fill a quater of the bottle with equal parts water and rubbing alcohol. Add a few drops of food coloring to help see the change in temperature. Place the straw in the bottle and seal the top completely with the putty, making sure the bottom of the straw does not touch the bottom of the bottle. The liquid will rise and fall through the straw when the temperature changes.
Can you inflate a balloon in a bottle with a straw sticking out of the bottle why?
Yes you can if all conditions were perfect. By that I mean that the bottle would have to be a near perfect vacuum by sucking out the air from the bottle with the straw. The vacated air from the bottle would be replaced by the baloon stretching to fill the space left by the air. You would have no need to blow into the baloon as the vacuum would do the work for you.
What would happen if you put a drinking straw into a half-filled cup of water?
The straw would displace the water in the cup, causing the water level inside the straw to rise above the water level in the cup due to atmospheric pressure. The water would remain at a stable height as long as the straw remains in the cup.

What is the length of 1 million straws from end to end?
It depends on the length of the straw. I would go get a straw, measure it with a ruler, and multiply that by 1,000,000. So if the straw was 4 inches, it would be 4,000,000. You could also google .... length average "drinking straw".... without the quotes.
What happens when you drink through a straw?
This question points up some key misconceptions about what a vacuum is.So you put a straw in your cup of water. If you look down the straw or could look through it, you would see that the level of water inside and outside the straw are exactly the same. This is because the atmosphere is pushing down on the water inside the straw, and it is pushing down equally hard on the water outside the straw. So the pressures are equal.When you suck on the straw, you are decreasing the pressure in your mouth and lowering the pressure of the air in the top of the straw. When that happens, the force of the atmosphere pushing on the water in the glass is higher than the force of gas inside the straw. The atmosphere forces the liquid up the straw into your mouth. So, in essence, you ARE NOT sucking the liquid into your mouth, the atmosphere is pushing it there.This is easily proved by an experiment. Try drinking water from a straw that is more than 20 meters tall. It won't work. At around 20 meters, the massive column of water inside the straw would be pulled down by gravity, with a force greater than the upward force caused by the atmosphere. Even if you completely evacuate the straw with a high-powered pump the water won't make it up the straw. This is why you can't pump water out of a well that is more than 20 meters deep in the ground. Anything deeper than that and you need to use a compressor to pump air at high pressure down into the well, to force the water out (essentially make the upward pressure higher than the atmosphere alone provides), or revert to the tried and true method using buckets.Of course, a similar principle applies with underground or artesian wells. The water there is already under greater pressure and will flow to the surface if given a path.
Does drinking through a straw get you drunker?
No logic suggest that drinking through a straw will intoxicate you quicker. In fact, when drinking through a straw, we typically tend to take smaller sips of the liquid than we would if we just sipped it naturally.
Would it be easier to drink water with a straw on top of Mt Everest or at the foot?
No
Is salt water what makes your drinking water?
No lake water we would have died.
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.
How can you prevent having clean drinking water?
I would suggest buying bottled water, drinking city tap water or by mixing a little dirt and grime in there. That should prevent you from drinking clean water.
Do waterfalls have drinking water or salt water?
Unless it was a human made water fall and the water gets purified you would want to boil and clean the water before drinking the water.
Would you be capable of holding water in a 10 story straw using just your fingertip?
no i don't believe you would.
