Why was the surface of a Roman road curved?
The surface of a Roman road was curved to make water run off.
What causes currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines?
Earth's rotation causes the water to move in a curve; this is a manifestation of The Coriolis force.
Does a larger surface area makes diffusion happen more quickly?
yes. Lets for example take a potato cube put in a jar of water. if the potato cube has a large surface area, then more of its surface will be exposed to water molecules, meaning that more can diffuse into it more quickly.
What is the use of surface areas and volumes in daily life?
Surface area, is used to paint a house or wrap a present and volume is used when you need to know how much water to put in your fish tank or water bowl
What is the square foot surface area required for 213000 gallons of water at 12 feet in depth?
213,000 gal / 7.48 gal /cubic foot =28,476cf /12ft(depth)=2373 sqft of surface area
What property of water causes the curved surfaces?
erosion
What property causes water to form beads?
The property that causes water to form beads is called surface tension.
What molecular attraction causes surface of the water to curve inside a glass?
The force of adhesion between water and glass molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between two water molecules.This causes the surface of the water to be curved. This curved surface is called a meniscus.
Why was the surface of a Roman road curved?
The surface of a Roman road was curved to make water run off.
Which property of water causes drops on a freshly waxed car?
This phenomenon is called surface tension.
Explain why the surface of water in a container is not flat but curved?
Surface tension.
What is the curved surface of water in a burette called?
kk
When water is in a container the surface of water is curved. this curve is called?
convex
What property of water allows water spider to walk across the surface of a pond?
In physics, surface tension is a force present within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet. It is the force that supports insects that walk on water, for example.
Why does meniscus of water in glass curves upwards?
Adhesion to the test tube or cohesion of the liquid molecules causes the meniscus to form.
Why can you pour a glass of water to the rim of the glass?
it's called "surface tension". It is the property of the surface of a liquid which causes it to behave like an elastic sheet. This is why a "water strider" insect can skate across the surface of a pond without sinking into the water. It is also what causes a drop of water - the surface tension of the water pulls it into a ball.
What property of water accounts for the fact that the molecules of water grab the walls of the thin xylem vessels?
Adhesion. Adhesion causes polar water molecules to adhere to the surface of a material that is polar.
