Q

When Is The Viscosity Of Newtonian Fluid Constant

A

When Temperature Stays The Same

20
Q

What Effects The Viscosity Of Newtonian Fluid

A

Changing The Temperature

21
Q

Why Does Honey Flow More Easily When Heated

A

Particles Have More Energy

Forces Between Particles Are Weaker

22
Q

As Temperature Of Newtonian Liquid Increases, Viscosity Decreases Because

A

Liquid Density Decreases

Particles In Liquid Have More Energy

Particles Have Less Forces Between Them

They Can Flow More Easily

Flow Velocity Increases

23
Q

As Temperature Of Newtonian Gas Increases, Viscosity Increases Because

A

Particles Have More Energy

Particles Move Faster

Particles Collide More Often

Particles Move Less Energy

Increases Gases Resistance To Movement

24
Q

Shear Thickness Fluids

A

Viscosity Increases When Shear Force Is Applied (e.g, shaken, stirred)

Particles Resist Movement

25
Q

Shear Thinning Fluids

A

Viscosity Decreases When Shear Force Is Applied

Layers Of Particles Slide Over Eachother More Easily

26
Q

Features Of Turbulent Water Flow

A

Increases Friction (Increases Drag)

Streamline Mix

Chaotic Flow

Speed Of Water Consistently Changing

27
Q

Effect Of Water Pressure When Pipe Narrows

A

Velocity Increases

The Pressure Decreases

28
Q

Factor That Affects The Pressure Of Oil In The Pipe

A

Diameter Of The Pipe

29
Q

Why Wedge Shape On The Car Allows It To Move Fast

A

Streamline Design

reduces Turbulence

less Air Action

30
Q

Bernoulli’s Principle, Why Two Balloons Move Towards Eachother

A

Air Flow Faster Between The Balloons

Faster Air Flow Reduces Air Pressure Between Balloons In Pressure Difference

31
Q

Describe How Shaking Glass Bottle Makes Ketchup Flow Quicker

A

Viscosity Decreases When Shear Pressure Is Applied As Ketchup Particles Slide Past Eachother

32
Q

Explain Why Oobleck Acts Like A Solid When Jumped On

A

Viscosity Increases When Set

When Force Applied It Becomes Ridged & Resists Movement.

33
Q

Effects Of Low Temp On How Oil Acts As A Lubricant

A

When Cold, Oil Will Not Flow Through Engine Easily
As Oil Is Thicker

Oil Won’t Reach All Parts In The Engine

34
Q

Effects Of High Temperature Of Oil Acting As A Lubricant

A

The Oil Will Not Coat Moving Parts

Oil Thin Making Engine Wear Greater

Oil Will Flow Faster/ Quicker

35
Q

Laminar streamlined flow

A

Layers liq slide past eachother without disturbance

Low friction b/w layers

36
Q

Turbulence follow

A

Liq layers mix

High friction b/w Layers

37
Q

Air on the top wing

A

High Velocity

38
Q

What force is put on wing

A

Upward force on wing

39
Q

The distance air has to travel over spoiler shape

A

Shorter distance

40
Q

2 features of Turbulence water flow

A

⬆️ friction

Streamline cross eachother

Chaotic flow

Speed water constantly changing

41
Q

Describe How Shaking Glass Bottle Makes Ketchup Flow Quickly (3)

A

Viscosity ⬇️ when shear force applied

Layers particles slide over eachother easily

42
Q

Velocity of oil change due to change in viscosity when temp rises (3)

A

Oil has lower viscosity

Particles have more energy
Less force b/w particles
Bonds broken

Oil flows faster

43
Q

Explain why oobleck acts like a solid when jumped on (3)

A

Becomes thicker

Shear force applied

Resists movement

44
Q

Explain affects of low temp & how oil acts as lubricant (2)

A

Oil thicker

Wont move to all parts of engine

45
Q

Effects of high temp how oil acts as lubricant (2)

A

Higher temp oil not coat all moving parts as thinner

Thin oil make engine wear grated
