Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.

What physical characteristic is the same for the liquid and solid states?
Both gases and liquids can assume any shape for a given volume and pressure.
What is the different between sedimentation and flotation?
Sedimentation is the measure of the (simple)movement of solids ,or the time (rate) of movement of undisolved material (solids) , in a column of water or other fluid ( as in sedimentation rate). Flotation is a quality of matter that is less dense than the fluid on which it is suspended . Both solids and liquids float, with liquids forming patches or layers atop the more dense sustrate.
What properties is shared by solids liquids and gases?
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
What do both solids and liquids have fixed?
I had that wordserch homework, i'v just found out the answer! Its: Volumes (with an s on the end :}) Enjoy! x
How are solid and liquids a like?
Liquids and solids are each made up of atoms and/or molecules, both have physical properties that can be measured and manipulated, both can participate in chemical reactions, both have mass, both can (at least theoretically) be converted to energy (E = mc^2), both can absorb and reflect certain wavelengths of light
How are liquids and gasses alike?
they are both made of particles
Can the air be thought of as a fluid?
Air is fluid (as are gasses generally), so there's certainly no reason it can't be thought of as one. (Note that fluid is not the same as liquid; both gases and liquids are fluid, which comes from a root word meaning "to flow".)
What is the difference between hydraulics and pnuematics?
Hydraulics are powered by liquids under pressure and pnuematics are powered by gasses, usually air, under pressure. Both liquids and gasses are fluids.
Are both gasses and liquids fluids?
Yes - a Newtonian fluid (or just a fluid) is one that continues to flow regardless or forces acting on it, and is only governed by temperature and pressure. Gas certainly 'flows' without the use of force: a gas will fill an unoccupied room without any external forces.
What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
What properties do gases and liquids share?
they are fluid
Are gases and liquids fluids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
How are gasses and liquids similar in shape and volume?
ANSWER unlike solids, both liquids and gases can change their shape to fit the container in which they are held. however, gases can also change volume unlike liquids.
Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?
Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.
What is the difference between a solid and a liquid volume?
Solids and liquids both have definite volumes. Gasses, however, do not have a definite volume.
What are the properties of hydraulics and pneumatics?
One similarity is that they both use fluids. Both gasses and liquids are fluids. the two are also compressible.
Are liquids fluid but gases not?
They're both fluids because they flow easily into air
