it because water has a light surface tension
The 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
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water with low viscosity can be easily poured out or has ease fluidity or movement of molecules.
Some fluids are more denser than other fluids. For example, shampoo is more denser than Ketchup or oil or water. Therefore, it has a higher viscosity! The thick/denser/sticker a fluid is the higher the concentrtation of viscosity. Here is a range of some fluids put from high viscosity to low concentration of viscosity: 1: Shampoo 2: Ketchup 3: Corn oil 4: Water Water has a really low concentration of viscosity.
Viscosity is the resistance for flow.Viscosity is the internal properties of fluids.Gear oil normally has larger viscosity.Kinematic viscosity is usuarally used to measure the viscosity of industrial lubricants.Dynamical viscosity (CCS) is usually used to measure low temperature viscosity for auto lubricants.Solvent or fuels has a low viscosity.Industrial oils folllow ISO viscosity classification.Auto lubes oils follow SAE viscosity classification.High viscosity usually means better protection for wear.Low viscosity usually means low friction resistance.
The kinematic viscosity of a fluid is found by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the density of the fluid. The kinematic viscosity of water changes depending on the temperature of the water. It ranges from .29 SI units to 1.787 SI units.
water has a low viscosity. substitute viscosity for its meaning, resistanse to flow. Water has a low resistance to flow
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
Low viscosity liquid is more runny, like water, then compared to a high viscosity liquid.
Viscosity is how much a liquid resists flow. Water has a low viscosity while molasses has a high viscosity.
Vinegar has a low viscosity. Vinegar is 1.35 CentiStokes. While water is 1.00 but vinegar still has a low viscosity.
You get low viscosity with thin liquids like water that flow easily. Low viscosity means the liquid has low resistance. You get high resistance when you have liquids that flow slowly like honey and syrup, which means high viscosity.
petrol and water
liquids that have low viscosity seem to flow quickerexample: vinegar and water
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.
having low sliding power. The lowest form of viscoity is honey WRONG! viscosity is the tendency of a liquid to keep from flowing-its resistance to flowing. HIGH viscosity is thick substances like HONEY, and low viscosity is thin substances like water
allow substances to diffuse through it it moves faster than a liquid with a relatively high viscosity
