Q

what is flow rate?

A

fluid flow involves both the movement of a fluid and the movement of an object through a fluid. and how quickly a fluid flows in a given amount is called it’s flow rate.

Q

explain the kinetic molecular theory?

A

all matter can exsist in three states: solid liquid and gas and each can change from one or the other. the kinetic molecular theory provided a model to help us understand.
-all matter is composed of molecules of other types of particles.
particles are in constant motion
there are forces of attraction among particles.
easier to say: matter=everything

Q

as heat energy is removed from a gas the particles start to slow down. the gas becomes a liquid if enough energy is removed. this process is changing matter from a gas to liquid.

Q

explain to me- adhesion-

A

adhesion is the attractive force between particles of a fluid and the particles of another substance.
adhesion is the reason ketchup and syrup stick to the sides of the bottles. the water will climb
