How does the surface tension of water compared with the surface tension of most other liquids?

Surface tension is the direct measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules that allows them to form "film", making it more difficult to move an object through the liquid surface. Compared to other known liqiuds, the surface tension of water is much greater. 

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
