Q1
A small insect can walk on the surface of water without sinking. This is primarily due to:
  1. Buoyancy
  2. Surface tension
  3. Viscosity
  4. Density

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A small insect can walk on the surface of water without sinking. This is primarily due to:
  • Step 1: Understand that water has a property called surface tension.
  • Step 2: Surface tension is like a 'skin' on the surface of the water that holds things up.
  • Step 3: The small insect is very light, so its weight is not enough to break this 'skin'.
  • Step 4: Because of this, the insect can walk on the water without sinking.
  • Surface Tension – The cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface create a tension that allows small objects to float.
