Q

What is viscosity?

A

the liquids internal resistance/friction that keeps it from flowing

17
Q

What is density?

A

mass per unit of volume; calculated by dividing mass by volume

18
Q

What is buoyant force?

A

upwards froce that a fluid exerts on an object; opposite to gravity in a fluid

19
Q

What are the PMOM rules?

A
  1. all matter is made of tiny particles
  2. Particles are always moving and vibration
  3. particles in matter may be attracted to eachother or bonded together
  4. particles have space in between them
20
Q

What is the reason behind something floating?

A

when the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid

21
Q

What is the reason behind something sinking?

A

when the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid

22
Q

How to calculate density?

A

Density = (g/ml) = mass/volume

23
Q

What is Buoyancy?

A

tendancy of an object to float when placed in a fluid

24
Q

What is high viscosity?

A

slow moving and doesn’t flow as easily (more dense)

25
Q

What is low viscosity?

A

fast moving and flows easily (less dense)

26
