Can water move against gravity

Answer 1

Water will move up slightly with momentum - say at the bottom of a waterfall, and surface tension will pull water slightly upwards at the edge of containers, but in general water will always go downhill. You can make water go uphill by using a wick action such as a piece of rope. Companies use a piece of rope to keep the tops of barrels from becoming water pools by using the small piece of rope to siphon the pooled water up and over the lip of the barrel. A dishrag placed atop the divider in a double sink with one side full will draw water into the rag and drip it into the empty side for a period of time. A central spinning devive such as a blender's blades will make the liquid in the container rise above the normal level. a cylinder or a vase shaped container with a larger top than base if tilted and rotated will make the liquid inside move uphill.

Answer 2

Sure. But it will move less water uphill than it takes to power the wheel. A waterwheel is not used to move water. Flowing or falling water moves the wheel which drives machinery.

Answer 3

It doesn't. Water flows downhill. It is transported to higher elevations as water vapor and then falls as precipitation.

Answer 4

It is because of the transpiration, The water is sucked through xylem and then it is transported to the stomata and the excess water is released through the stomatal opening.

Answer 5

You use a pump or a siphon.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

yes
