Does air temperature affect air resistance?

There are two factors that influence air resistance with temperature. Air density decreases with temperature so that the force needed to push the air out of the way is decreased, thereby decreasing resistance. Conversely, air viscosity increases with temperature (unlike oil for example where viscosity decreases with temperature) so that the drag increases. Under normal conditions, the density change of air has the greatest effect and air resistance decreases at higher temperatures.


Does temperature change the density of diesel?

No, the density doesn't actually change, though it may seem like it. With a multi-grade oil, the viscosity changes, which basically means that the flow of the oil is either becoming more fluid or more sludge-like. The higher the temperature of the oil, the better it flows. Multi-grade oils, like 5W-30 type, will flow slowly initially, which helps cold weather start ups. Eventually the oil starts flowing more fluidly, when the engine reaches operating temperature.Long story short: No, the density remains the same. It's the viscosity of the oil that changes.


What substances float on oil?

All materials with a density greater than the density of this oil.


Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?

Type your answer here... the oil has more density


Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?

No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.

What happens to the density when corn oil is poured into water?

Water has a fixed density (depending on temperature), and it is more dense than corn oil by a little bit. If corn oil is added to water, the density of the mixture will decrease. This applies to "room temperature" water and oil. No one should be pouring hot oil into water.


Can temperature make oil sink in water?

Yes, it may make oil sink if at some temperature the density of water goes lesser than that of oil.


How does cooking oil affect the density of water?

It doesn't. Cooking oil doesn't dissolve in water and therefore doesn't affect the chemistry of the water.


What is the relation between fuel oil density and temperature?

The oil will change densities based on the temperature. When it gets too hot, it will get less dense and visa versa.

What is the density of cooking oil?

When you put oil and water into the same container and wait a while for them to get organized, the oil winds up on top of the water. Oil performs the physical maneuver known as "floating" with respect to the water, because its (the oil's) density is less than the density of water.

What is the density of vegitable oil?

According to http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml, the average density of cooking oils at approximately room temperature varies from 0.91 g/cm^s to 0.93 g/cm^3, depending on the precise temperature and the type of oil. For comparison, the density of water is 1.00 g/cm^3 at 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 Fahrenheit), but at room temperature (20 Celsius, or 68 Fahrenheit) the density of water decreases to 0.9982 g/com^3 (from http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_water.htm).


What is the density of canola oil?

Density is a function of temperature meaning that at different temperatures of the oil the density will be different. At room temperatures (19-25 degrees Celsius) the density of canola oil is 0.92 g/mL or 0.92 kg/L. As the temperature decrease, the density decreases. At 11-15 degrees Celsius the density is 0.91 g/mL.
