no
Because he creates lower air pressure in his mouth compared to the atmospheric pressure - thus the liquid is pushed through the straw as a result of pressure difference.
It is unlikely that a dog would be able to sip a drink from a straw like humans do, as their anatomy is not suited for this task. Dogs typically drink by lapping up water with their tongues.
When you try to drink through a straw in a sealed container, you create a vacuum within the container. The vacuum prevents the liquid from being able to flow through the straw because there is no air pressure to push it up. Essentially, the lack of air pressure inside the sealed container makes it impossible for the liquid to move up the straw.
no because you wouldn't be able to go inside the cactus
She was able to capture footage of chimps using tools to gather food - like sticking a small straw to draw out termites. Chimps discovered that if they put a small limb or straw into a termite mound, the termites would cling to the straw out of defense of their nest.
any, as long as its getting you drunk. just do not get too drunk because you wil not be able to function properly.
Just stab it with it. if it is not an extremely weak straw or an extremely firm apple, it should go into it. whether you'll be able to drink anything or not, I don't think so. I'd try it with an orange or other citrus fruit. would be easier to get juice out of :) EDIT: If you hold your thumb over one end of the straw, being careful to ensure a seal, when you push the straw against the apples skin, you will have formed a seal at both ends of the straw. As such the air in the straw is trapped. In order for the straw to deform (as it would tend to do by buckling, folding or bending when you try to force it into the apple) it must now compress the air in the straw rather than simply forcing it out of the open hole at the top. This is significantly more difficult, as the compressed air pushes back against the internal walls of the straw. This therefore means that a larger force would be required to compress the air and cause the straw to bend or buckle. In other words the straw is now stiffer / more rigid than it was. As more force can now be applied to the straw before it will deform, it is more likely to pierce the apple.
They are able to drink nectar from plants using an adapted probiscis.
No, as there is no atmosphere on the Moon drinking juice from a straw will not work for the following reasons.the water in the juice will boil away in a few seconds due to the depressed boiling point of water.the second law of thermodynamics will disperse the evaporated water radially so no coherent fluid can existwith no external air pressure the process of sucking will produce no negative pressure gradient for the water to follow.the astronaut will not be able to insert the straw into his pressure sealed space suit to attempt to apply a sucking maneuver. Attempting such is ridiculous anyways as the zero pressure of space and would just result in him getting sucked out of his/her space suit.Oranges don't grow on the moon so there is no Orange Juice to be had.Retail stores don't (as yet) exist on the moon so there is no possible way for orange juice to be retailed for foolish astronauts to attempt drinking it. (Or any juice for that matter. The question wasn't specific.)Anita Bryant doesn't live on the Moon so no one would know about orange juice and its virtues to want to attempt such a thing.There is currently an orange juice embargo against the Moon so no orange juice can be imported for anybody to attempt drinking it there. (Tang doesn't count as orange juice.)Yes, if all the aforementioned problems are curtailed (such as smuggling a juice fruit contained up to the Moon in a pressured space suit. Then the astronaut inside the space suit could suck up the orange juice perfectly well. Anita would have to tell him/her it was there of course.)
In outer space, you wouldn't be able to drink through a straw because there is no atmosphere to create the pressure difference needed to draw liquid up the straw. Without this pressure difference, the liquid would not move up the straw when you suck on it.
A 3 year old should be able to drink from a regular glass or cup. A sippy cup or a cup with a lid and straw could be used in certain instances where you do not want the liquid to be spilled.
