Viscosity is the measure of a liquid's molecule's tendency to be attracted to one another. For example, oils are highly viscous, while water is not. the slippery relationship between 2 liquids

Vicosity increases as temperature increases?

"Viscosity" is basically a resistance to flow. Viscosity is inversly proportional to Temperature. For example, high viscous heavy fuel is heated to right temperature to lower its viscosity for proper combustion in diesel engines or boiler.


Explain what the vicosity of a liquid is?

the viscosity of something is sort of like how thick it is. For example, honey is very thick, and doesn't flow to well. That means it is very viscus. However, water on the other hand, is not as thick and flows well, so it is not as viscus.


What will happen if the volcano has high vicosity magma but very low gas content?

The result will be a slow extrusion of lava which will either form a thick block lava flow or a lava dome. If the magma is too viscous it may fail to erupt and instead plug the volcano.


What is vicosity in scence?

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It is determined by the internal friction within the fluid as its molecules move past each other. High-viscosity fluids like honey flow slowly, while low-viscosity fluids like water flow more easily.


How is the knowledge of vicosity is applied to motor mechanic?

Motor oil moves through the engine system and its components to lubricate them and pick up contaminants that can harm the engine. ... Oil is measured by its viscosity, or how thick or thin the oil is. An example of a difference in viscosity is comparing honey and vinegar. Honey is thick and flows very slowly when poured.
