Spongebob
Stream velocity is faster in a?
Stream velocity is dependent of four things. They are, the flow type, the gradient, the channel shape, and the discharge of the stream. Streams will flow faster in narrow channels on steeper grades.
What is the Solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure?
The mantle is the solid layer of earth that can flow because of great heat and pressure
What way do the westerlys flow?
west to east because winds are named after where they come from and which direction they flow. For example a southeastern wind flows from the south to the east.
Do charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy?
"voltage" (also referred to as 'potential')
Why can liquids flow from place to place?
Liquids can flow from place to place because liquids have no definite shape. Instead, a liquid takes the shape of its container. Without a container, liquid spreads into a wide shallow puddle.
Does liquid have an indefinite shape?
yes; a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container.
What is the definition of fluid?
A fluid is any matter that has no fixed shape, can flow and takes the shape of its container.
Can gasses flow?
Gases flow anywhere they want to. This is one of the special properties of gases. They do NOT have a definite volume or shape. They take the shape of their container and fill the volume of that container.
State of matter where molecules take the shape of their container and can flow?
liquid
What description best describes a solid A. It has a definite shape and volume. B. It has a definite shape but not a definite volume. C. It adjusts to the shape of its container. D. It can flow.?
Answer this question by process of elimination. Let's use a brick as our example. Can it change it's volume? No. Can it adjust to fit the shape of it's container (which basically means 'can it flow')? No. Can it flow? No.
What are More detail about the difference between solid liquid and gas?
Solids: they have fixed shape and fixed volume. They cannot be compressed much. They cannot flow. They do not fill their container completely. They have high density. They are heavy. Liquids: they have fixed volume but not fixed shape they take the shape of their container. They cannot be compressed much. They can flow. They do not fill their container completely. They have moderate to high density. Gases: they do not have fixed shape and volume. They can be compressed easily. They can flow. They fill their container completely. They have very low density.
Why do liquids always need to be kept in a container?
They can't hold their shape on their own, so without a container they will flow all over the place.
Is tomato ketchup a solid?
Ketchup is a liquid. Anything that can flow or assume the shape of a container in a fluid
Special properties of liquid?
A liquid is defined as something that has a constant volume but conforms to the shape of its container. This is different from a gas which has variable volume and conforms to the shape of its container. It is also different from a solid which has a constant volume and does not change to fit the shape of its container.
What is the properties of gass?
They are fluid (can flow into and takes the shape of any container), compressible (volume can decrease without change in mass), and have no fixed shape.
What is property of water to take the shape of the container called?
The ability of water to take the shape of the container it is in is related to its viscosity. The lower a viscosity, the more likely a liquid will flow and fill in the spaces of the container it is in as gravity pulls it down. A different name for this is fluidity.
