If you have a handful of cold particles, and you want to toss them into a glass

of water in order to cool it, then it'll happen faster if the particles are small.

That way, there is more cold surface area in contact with the water to

conduct heat out of it, and all of this is the main reason why the bartender

uses crushed ice in most drinks.

Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?

Water flows faster through cylinders containing large particles because there are larger spaces between the particles, allowing for less resistance to the flow of water. In contrast, cylinders containing smaller particles have more surface area and tighter packing, which creates more friction and resistance to the flow of water.


Why does a large pot of water evaporate faster then a small pot?

It doesn't look at the puddles outside the smaller they are the faster they evaporate. Each puddle is like another experiment small puddles are like small pots and large puddles are like large pots. If the puddle is large enough it never fully evaporates and we call them lakes.


Given the same amount of water how does pot size affect the amount of time it takes to boil water?

A smaller pot will reach boiling temperature faster than a larger pot because there is less water to heat up. Additionally, a larger pot may lose more heat to the surrounding environment, requiring more energy to reach boiling point.


What are non examples of colloids?

Examples of non-colloids include solutions like salt dissolved in water, where the solute particles are too small to be visible, and suspensions like sand in water, where the particles settle out over time due to gravity. Both solutions and suspensions differ from colloids because they do not have the same uniform dispersion of particles as colloids do.


What is saltation and traction?

Saltation is the process of small particles being lifted and transported by wind or water in short, intermittent jumps. Traction refers to larger particles being rolled or dragged along by wind or water. Both processes are important in the transportation of sediment in natural environments.

Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?

This can be explained using particle theory. The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move. Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more. The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.


Are there more particles in a beaker with a large amount of water in it or a beaker with a small amount of water in it?

There are more particles in the beaker with a large amount of water compared to a beaker with a small amount of water, assuming the water is the only substance present. This is because the volume of water in the larger beaker contains more individual water molecules than the volume of water in the smaller beaker.


What is percolation in a water cycle?

when water percolates through small soil particles it travels downwards till it is held by large particles of soil or it reaches the ground water table. sometimes collection of large soil particles also holds the water from further travel


Why is diffusion in hot water faster?

because the hotter the water the quicker the particles move


How can sugar be dissolved in water quicker?

you can heat it up, the water, or grind the sugar into smaller particles! try both! =)


What are the functions of the small and large intestines?

the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver

Do water particles move in large circles true or false?

Water particles move in circles


What is the large particles carried by the water?

Large particles carried by water include sediment, rocks, debris, and organic matter. These particles can be transported by the flow of water in rivers, streams, and oceans, contributing to erosion and sedimentation processes.


Why do you need charcoal sand and gravel for the water filter?

the sand and gravel provide physical filtering of the water, and remove large particles. The Charcoal has very small pores, and a large surface area. it removes smaller particles and absorbs some chemicals and odors.
