Can a solid be a fluid?
No. However, there are substances that don't fit neatly into a solid/liquid dichotomy. Glasses, for example, are much more like solids than they are like liquids, but they do have some liquid-like characteristics. Liquid crystals are liquids that show some solid-like characteristics. Viscoelastic materials (Silly Putty is probably the best known example) are somewhere in between.
Is agar a solid liquid or gas?
No, it's a gel, a particular type of solution that is technically neither, because while it's mainly liquid (by weight) it behaves like a solid.
If you placed a solid into a liquid what would usually happen?
The Archimedean Principle takes over. The weight of a body immersed in a fluis is equal to the weight of the fluid disoplaced. A solid will either float or sink , but it displaced the fluid. Sometimes the solid may absord the fluid, but there is still a displacement of fluid.
The only state of matter that is not a fluid is?
solid
What is a fluid containing solid particles large enough for sedimentation?
This fluid is called suspension.
What is viscoelastic fluid introduction and its characteristics industrial application?
fluid that behaves as solid and as well as liquid too. it has elastic nature it will regain back when apllied stress is removed
How does an intrusive form?
An intrusion is the injection of one material into another. To form, one material has to be more fluid than the other (eg mud, water or magma) so that it behaves hydraulically, while the more solid material can be fractures and forced apart by the more fluid material. When this happens the fluid material forces its way into the solid material as an intrusion.
What is the substance that behaves like a solid and liquid?
an amorphasolid
Does earth's inner core behave like a thick liquid?
No. It behaves as a solid.
What is that part of the earth that is relatively hot and that behaves as a highly viscous fluid?
The asthenosphere.
Does solid takes shape?
Solid cannot shape of a container but if you look at something like sand it is still a solid though it behaves like a liquid.
Does the earth's inner core behave like a thick liquid?
No. It behaves like a solid.
Do the blood cells comprise the fluid or the solid portion of the blood?
The solid I think and the fluid is water
Difference between solid and fluid mechanics?
solid is the form of khakhas fluid is the form of uche
Is a fluid is liquid or a solid?
A fluid is NOT a solid. A fluid is a type of matter that flows. A fluid is liquid and gases.
Why does soil take the shape of a container if it is a solid?
Soil is a solid made of individual grains, not one piece. The grains can rearrange themselves freely.A suspension of soil in either air or water is a fluid and behaves much like a liquid. In air it might be a dust storm. In water it might be either a mudslide or quicksand.
When a strikes a solid barrier it behaves like a basketball hitting a backboard this wave behavior is called?
The strikes of a solid barrier wave behavior is called a reflection.
