Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?
Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
Do fluids exert friction?
Certain fluids, especially liquids, do exert internal friction. This property of the fluid is called viscosity. Rheology is known as the study of viscosity.
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Which state of matter has the ability to flow?
Fluids have the ability to flow. Fluids are Liquids and Gasses.
What does convection only occur in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?
Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.
What is the similarities of gas liquid and fluid?
Gases and also liquids are fluids.

Are gases and liquids fluids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
Do fluids exert friction?
Certain fluids, especially liquids, do exert internal friction. This property of the fluid is called viscosity. Rheology is known as the study of viscosity.
What The study of pressure on liquids?
The study of liquids at rest called is known as hydrostatics. This a study of the mechanism of fluids which is a branch of physics.
What statement correctly describes both gases and liquids?
Fluids. Any substance that has the ability to flow are defined as fluids. Both liquids and gases have the ability to flow and they are collectively termed as fluids. However, very fine solid particles also belong to this category.
What are said to be pourable?
Liquid ********************* Fluids. Fluids include liquids and gases.
Are gasses and liquids fluids?
yes
Why liquids are not fluids?
liquids are not fluids because a fluid is a class based on motion not a class based on a state of matter like a liquid.
Only liquids can be classified as fluids?
No. A fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. All gases are fluids, but not all liquids are fluids. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
