Q

How can you demonstrate that finely ground solids are not fluids?

A

Solids don’t take up the space of a container as well and if you heat the substance it will evaporate if it’s a fluid.

Q

What is the relationship between a liquids viscosity and its flow rate?

A

If it has a high viscosity it has a low flow rate and if it has a low viscosity it has a high flow rate.

Q

What is the relationship between internal friction and viscosity?

A

If the internal friction is low the viscosity is low and if the internal friction is high then the viscosity is high

Q

Use the particle theory to explain why and how the temperature affects the viscosity of liquids

A

Rule number four says Particles move faster when they are heated so then if they are moving faster then that means the particles can move past each other faster

Q

How does the size and the shape of the particles of a fluid affect internal friction

A

The bigger they are the harder it is to move past the other particles and the smaller they are means they can slip past each other faster
