lab 3: water properties
station 8: pour water down a string.
traveling water - sick science! #026
what water property allows the water to stick to the rope?

Explanation:

This phenomenon relies on the attractive forces between water molecules and the string's surface, along with the cohesive forces between water molecules themselves. The key property that makes water adhere to the string is adhesion, which is the attraction between different substances (water and the string material), paired with cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other) that keeps the water stream intact as it travels down the string.

Answer:

Adhesion (along with cohesion; the primary property enabling water to stick to the rope is adhesion)
