Which has more drag water or paste and why?

Paste is considered to have more dragging force. Although water is considered to be denser then paste, paste creates more friction. The higher the level of friction, the greater the drag.


What is the force called between liquid particles?

viscosity. Viscosity is the inherent force of a liquid which opposes the relative movement between layers of the said liquid.


How drag vary with the shape of the object and viscosity of the fluid?

The drag force acting on an object is influenced by its shape and the viscosity of the fluid it is moving through. Objects with streamlined shapes experience less drag compared to those with irregular shapes, as streamlined shapes reduce turbulence. Higher fluid viscosity results in increased drag force, as the fluid resists the object's motion more, leading to more energy being required to overcome this resistance.


What does the amount of drag depend on?

The amount of drag depends on the speed of the object moving through a fluid, the shape of the object, the surface area exposed to the fluid, and the viscosity of the fluid.


What is the force that opposes or restricts motion in a fluid called?

Viscosity is the force that opposes or restricts motion in a fluid. It is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deform under shear stress or tensile stress.


Are weasels viscious?

Not all weasels


What is the friction drag?

Friction drag is the drag acting on the surface of an object from a fluid flowing over it. When a fluid flows over an object it exerts a shear force on the object because of the fluid's viscosity which pulls the object in the direction of the flow.

Friction drag is the drag acting on the surface of an object from a fluid flowing over it. When a fluid flows over an object it exerts a shear force on the object because of the fluid's viscosity which pulls the object in the direction of the flow.


What relationship is there between the shape of an object and drag that is created?

Drag is due to the concept of fluid drag due to viscosity. This drag force can be calculated from an extremely hard to solve differential equation, the Navier-Stokes equation. For a sphere the equation simplifies to drag force=6*pi*viscosity*radius of the sphere*velocity. For other shapes with less symmetry the navier-stokes equation is harder to simplify. For example- a cube traveling through the air no longer has laminar, streamline flow of air. This results in turbulence and drastically increases the drag force. Hope that helps.


Which is the most viscious fish in Britain?

The most viscious fish in Britain has to be the common goldfish as it alone is responsible for over 90% of fish related deaths. the second most viscious is the piranha. however in a straight out fight the goldfish would wipe the floor with the piranha.


Why is the Cyclops's a monster an archetypal character?

He is viscious and brutal


What is relation between viscosity and teminal velocity?

Viscosity affects terminal velocity by influencing the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid. Higher viscosity fluids result in greater resistance, leading to lower terminal velocities for objects moving through them. This relationship is described by the drag force acting on the object, which is determined by both viscosity and the object's characteristics.
