The uneven force acting on the surface of a liquid are called viscosity true or false?
Viscosity is the internal resistance of fluid to flow. Water has a thin viscosity (low resistance = flows easily) while oil has a thick viscosity (high viscosity = does not flow as easily). The term viscosity is usually used about the internal forces of the liquid itself.While not clear from the question, the force acting on the surface of a liquid is probably surface tension being thought of, but could also be gravity, depending on the context.I would say the answer to your question is: false.
Does viscocity increase as temperature increases?
No, viscosity, the property that makes honey, say, flow slower than water, goes up - becomes more thick - as the temperature decreases. A high viscosity liquid like, say, cold molasses, flows very slowly. Its viscosity is high. To make cold molasses flow faster, it is warmed so that its viscosity goes down. (But the 'runniness' increases) This is a hard term . . . think of viscosity as the ability to resist flowing, or to resist cutting with a knife. BUT . . . and what is confusing is that while viscosity goes down, runniness increases, if that helps, any.
Does honey have high or low viscosity?
Honey has a high viscosity. Viscosity is a measurement of internal friction or thickness so honey would be more viscous than say water for example.
Is a jam a solid liquid or gas?
liquidI would say that it is actually both a liquid and a solid. It definitely is NOT a gas. It "sticks" together like a solid, but still has the viscosity, or fluidity, of a liquid.
What does a high Plasma viscosity level mean in a blood test?
Viscosity is the thickness of a fluid. Example, Petrol would have a low viscosity compared to engine oil. So I would say The Plasma is thicker than normal. It means your blood is thick, look up ways to prevent this.
What is honey's viscosity?
Honey has a high viscosity. Viscosity is a measurement of internal friction or thickness so honey would be more viscous than say water for example.
When you are talking about the viscosity of lava what are you talking about?
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or extensional stress. In general terms it is the resistance of a liquid to flow, or its "thickness".
Does liquid honey have a high viscosity?
Yes, but keep in mind there are many type of honey, and many ways of processing the honey. I will assume we are talking about natural honey, Liquid and unpasteurized... this is still a wide range of honeys as the properties of the honey are different by location and what flowers the nectar was gathered from. (not to mention the species of bees). so in short i'd say: yes honey has a high viscosity at room temperature. afterthought: "high viscosity" is a very broad term as well...
What is viscoslty?
Viscosity is the resistance to flow of a substance. The higher the viscosity, the more resistant it is to flow. That is to say, glue has a higher viscosity than water.
Do bipolar people mean everything they say when they are high?
NO body says anything they mean when they are high!
How do you say water in Maori?
In Maori, "wai" can mean water, juice, or liquid.
What condition does apply on one drop of liquid the verge of falling?
Weirdly worded question, but i think you're asking what keeps or makes a single drop of whatever from falling. If that is the question, its gravity acting on the surface tension of the liquid in question. Viscosity also plays a role....as obviosly water droplets would form and fall before, say thick oil or honey. Short answer: gravity acting on surface tension and viscosity. Hope that helps!
