According to classical physics any liquid that continues to flow is a newtonian liquid.

In terms of scientific language you could say that it is any liquid whose stress versus strain

rate curve is linear and passes through origin.

Water is a newtonian liquid because it doesn't matter how much force is applied or how

fast is the stirring, it continues to flow.

How is oobleck a gas?

Oobleck is not a gas. It is a non newtonian fluid made of corn starch and water. I suppose it could be a gas, though, if you heated it up a lot.


When was oobleck discovered?

The origin of the word is from a Dr. Seuss book named, "Bartholomew and the Oobleck. It is a non-Newtonian substance made of cornstarch and water that acts like a solid when force is applied. You can pour it or have it drip from your fingers. You can make it with 1 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water (add food coloring to the water) and mix.


Why is oobleck a solid and a liquid?

Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid with shear thickening properties, meaning that when stressed is applied to it, its apparent viscosity increases. Basically, when someone hits it, it behaves more like a solid.


When does oobleck act like a solid?

Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid providing a realization of a shear-thickening fluid.Non-newtonian means that at a state of rest, it acts like a liquid, but when outside force is exerted upon it, it acts like a solid.A good oobleck example is cornstarch with water, a common thickening agent used in cooking. It is also a very good example of a shear thickening system. When a force is applied to a 1:2.5 mixture of water and cornstarch, the cornstarch acts as a solid and resists the force.There is a nice explicative video on You tube in 'Related links' clickable just below this answer.


What is the difference between a newtonian and non-newtonian?

There are four main onesThixotropicViscosity decreases with stress over time. E.g. Some honey (keep stirring and solid honey becomes liquid)RheopecticViscosity increases with stress over time. E.g. Cream (the longer you whip it the thicker it gets)Shear thinningViscosity decreases with increased stress. E.g. Ketchup (you have to shake the bottle to get it out)Dilatant or shear thickeningViscosity increases with increased stress. E.g. Oobleck (cornstarch and water, looks like a liquid but hit it and it is a solid)

What happens when you mix water and starch?

You get oobleck, which is a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid has properties of both a solid and a liquid and reacts to stress with increased viscosity.

Is Oobleck better classified as a solution or a suspension?

Oobleck is a suspension of starch in water, It is also classified as a non Newtonian fluid meaning it exhibits interesting properties.


Why is oobleck a liquid?

Oobleck is a sticky substance that is a solid when pressurized but a liquid when not pressured in room temperature. It is a great thing to help teach kids chemistry. Oobleck is made of 1 cup of cornstarch for every 1/2 cup of water.

What is a Non- Newtonian fluid?

It is a liquid that doesn't follow the laws put in place by Isaac newton. Some can be made by mixing 3 parts corn starch and 1 part water. They also have an experiment that you can do on this. Its on http:/scifun.chem.wisc.edu/homewxpts/lumpyliquids.htm. Non- Newtonian fluid is a fluid that has 2 properties of matter mixed together, like oobleck. The properties are solid, liquid, and gas. For Oobleck, you punch it, it's solid. When you pick it up, it oozes out of your hand.
