What does it mean to overcome? For example: when water gains thermal energy, it starts to overcome the i.m.f but what does that mean?
In: Physics
To “overcome” means to overpower or overwhelm, to be stronger than (something else).
In this case, the thermal energy gives the water molecules more kinetic energy, to the point where the forces that hold one water molecule to another can no longer do so, and so the intermolecular force has been overcome.
