Simple little water experiment today… testing distilled water, tap water, and then adding natural minerals back in with Celtic sea salt. The results are pretty interesting and definitely make you think about what’s really in the water we drink every day...STOP DRINKING TAP WATER #WaterExperiment #CleanWater #Health #truth

Water has a high surface tension (around 72 mN/m at room temperature) due to strong cohesive forces between water molecules, primarily hydrogen bonds, which cause the surface to act like a stretched membrane. #physics #science #experiment #universe #water #nature #space #experiments #math

This Water Trick Will Blow Your Mind! The Worthington jet effect happens when an object hits a liquid surface, forming a cavity that quickly collapses due to pressure and surface tension. As the liquid rushes back inward, the energy focuses at the center and shoots upward, creating a thin, high-speed jet of liquid. This process demonstrates how impact energy is redirected into a vertical motion and is influenced by factors such as impact speed, liquid viscosity, and surface tension. #science #physics #learning #facts #experiements
