How the viscosity of a liquid affect how quickly an object can move through it?

Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow or change in form, essentially measuring thickness of a liquid in everyday terms. The higher the viscosity the slower an object can pass though it; likewise, the lower the viscosity the faster an object will be able to move though it.
For example: You can move a spoon more easily though a bowl of water than through a bowl of honey. The water is less viscous (thinner) compared to the (thick) honey.

∙ 14y agowhat is viscosity and how does it affect the fluidity of a liquid?
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoviscosity is a substances' internal resistance or friction that keeps it from flowing. If viscosity increases there is more friction so it flows slower than a substance with low viscosity.

∙ 14y agoThe higher the viscosity, the less it will flow..
so something like water has a low viscosity, and something like custard has a high viscosity :)
hope i helped xx

How does viscosity affect the rate of diffusion?
The higher the viscosity, the slower the rate of diffusion. Think of a liquid trying to diffuse through a plate of water (low viscosity) versus a liquid trying to diffuse through a plate of agar (high viscosity)
What is a permeable substance?
A liquid or gas that can pass through something
Some bacteria are able to propel themselves through liquid by means of a structure called the?
flagellum
What does sublivation mean?
sublimation is when a solid directly turns into a gas without going through the liquid phase
What is liquid media in art?
The nutreint media which reamin in liquid form through out the culturing process is called liquid media. It is different to solid media in not having agar in it which is the solidifying agent used in medium prepration. Commonly prepare liquid media is nutrient broth which contain beef extract, partially digest protein (peptones) and sodium chloride.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with a low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquid with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
How does heating a liquid affect the viscosity and why?
it affects the viscosity because the liquid changes the shape and turns it to a gas and the viscosity by change the form
What are factors that affect viscosity and flow?
Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.
Does the density of a liquid affect the liquids of viscosity?
denser liquids tend to have more viscosity
Water has a relatively low viscosity it will what?
allow substances to diffuse through it it moves faster than a liquid with a relatively high viscosity
What is the motion that opposes the motion of an object through liquid?
Viscosity opposes the motion of an object through liquid.
How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquids with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
A property of flowing very quickly in a liquid?
The property would be fluid or fluidity.
What is the speed of a liquid?
I think you may be talking about viscosity. The viscosity of a liquid is its resistance to flow, or its thickness. A less viscous liquid will flow more quickly than a more viscous fluid. As an example, water has very low viscosity and molasses has a high viscosity.
How do liquids with high viscosity differ from liquids with a low viscosity?
Viscosity is a property of liquids, showing that liquid's resistance to flow. A liquid with a high viscosity would mean it flowed slowly. A liquid with a low viscosity would mean it flows rather quickly.
