When you pour water onto a flat surface of a dinner plate, the water spreads out to form a thin layer due to gravity and surface tension. The surface tension causes the water to maintain a cohesive structure, creating a slight bulge or curvature at the edges. If enough water is poured, it can overflow, but initially, it will remain relatively flat and contained within the boundaries of the plate. The water will also reflect light, creating a shimmering effect.
What else can I help you with?
Is the surface of water flat?
Technically, No. Water in a glass (or other vessel) has a curved surface known as a meniscus. A large body of water (like an ocean) actually follows the curve of the earth. So the surface of the water is a curve or section of a sphere.
Explain why the surface of water in a container is not flat but curved?
Surface tension.
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
Why does water curve on the edges?
Water curves on the edges due to a phenomenon called surface tension, which results from cohesive forces between water molecules. These molecules are more attracted to each other than to the air above, creating a sort of "skin" on the surface. When water is in contact with a solid surface, such as a glass, adhesive forces between the water molecules and the surface can also cause the water to climb slightly along the edges, leading to a meniscus shape. This curvature minimizes the surface area and energy of the water.
Which property of water causes the curved surface show in figure 2-1?
The curved surface shown in figure 2-1 is caused by the property of water known as surface tension. Surface tension arises from the cohesive forces between water molecules, which create a "film" at the surface that resists external force. This phenomenon leads to the meniscus effect, where the curvature of the surface is influenced by the interaction between water molecules and the container's walls, resulting in a concave or convex shape.
What do you observe if you pour the water on the flat surface of a dinner plate?
When you pour water on the flat surface of a dinner plate, you will observe the water spreading out to cover the surface of the plate evenly due to surface tension. The water molecules are attracted to each other, causing them to stick together and form a thin layer. If the plate is clean and smooth, the water will form a cohesive layer without breaking apart.
Does evaporation of water happen at the surface?
Evaporation occur at the surface of water.
How far from the edge of the table do you place your plate?
There is no set rule for the placement of a dinner plate, but a good host will set a salad or bread/roll plate to the top left and a soup bowl and plate can be placed upon the top of the dinner plate if desired. A glass of water and/or wine can be placed at the top right.
How can i repair surface of mild steel plate with putty to fill or plain surface that looks like iron?
Please mention the particular application of MS plate.....(sea water,DM water ,)
Why a drop of water put on a glass plate spreads?
When a drop of water is placed on a glass plate, it spreads out due to surface tension. Surface tension is the property of a liquid that causes its surface to behave like a thin elastic sheet. The water molecules at the surface of the drop are pulled inward by the cohesive forces between water molecules, causing the drop to spread out to minimize its surface area.
What will happen when a jar of warm water is covered from top with a steel plate containing ice-cubes?
Drops of water at lower side of plate appear due to condensation.
Does evaperation only happen on the surface of water?
Yes, but the surface of water can also be inside of air bubbles, and so forth, too.
Why does the water kept in a plate evaporate faster as compared to that kept in a test tube?
The water surface able to be evaporated is greater.
Why must we use sterile techniques to incubate agar plates?
Because if the plates are wet you will not get individual colonies, instead you will get a film of bacteria growing in the water film on the surface of the plate. This can ruin a selection for transformants as the antibiotic will not be present in the water film on the surface of the plate.
What happen to a solid object with a density that is less than water when its place in water?
it floats.They float at water surface.
How does earth prevent the surface from becoming totally smooth due to erosion?
because of plate tech tonics and erosion takes hundreds of years to happen. it took tons of water and a couple hundred years for the grand canyon
What would happen to a fresh water cell if placed into salt-water?
die..and its body will float on the surface
