How much weight is required to break the adhesive force between an object and water?
In this experiment, you will first determine the strength of the adhesive force between a flat piece of wood and the surface of water. Then you will measure the effect of altering the adhesion between the two by adding a hydrophobic substance. Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your knowledge of the properties of water. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesisAn idea in the form of a statement that can be tested by observation and/or experiment.. A hypothesis should explain these things: • the topic of the experiment • the variable you will change • the variable…
