How does the thickness of lava affect nature?
Its viscosity affects the speed of its flow. If it had a low viscosity, then its flow would be much faster and hence more menacing to the environment.
As the temperature of a fluid increases does its viscosity increase or decrease?
Assuming all other conditions stay the same as the viscosity increase this restricts flow and the flow rate will slow down. For example if you put water in a squeezable ketchup bottle it would be able to be emptied much faster than if you applied the same pressure with ketchup in the bottle.
What is the ability to allow liquid to flow through?
In general, fluidity is the term used to refer to the ability of a fluid to flow. It's the reciprocal of viscosity, which is the resistance of a fluid to deform when subjected to either shear or extensional forces. It (viscosity) is often thought of as the "thickness" of a fluid.Consider that a gas is a fluid just as a liquid is, and a gas is "more fluid" than a liquid. It (the gas) has a greater ability to "flow" than a liquid. Gas atoms or molecules "stick together" less than the atoms or molecules of a liquid. We don't use the term fluidity much in engineering, but stick to viscosity, which is linked below.Solid:A solid's ability to flow is called plasticity. Examples of this process would be the earth's mantle, which is solid material that flows underneath the Earth's crust.
How does a thickness of a fluid compare to its viscosity?
The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.
Where is viscosity used?
This isn't really an official answer as I'm just speculating, but I think industries might adjust the viscosity of liquids they use to adjust the rate of flow through a system to alter the results.
Can water viscosity affect how much heat a body of water absorbs?
The thinner the liquid is the faster it will absorb heat.
The resistance of a liquid to flowing?
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. It is a measure of the internal friction within a fluid as it moves. Liquids with high viscosity flow more slowly than those with low viscosity.
How does the attraction between molecules affect the ability of a liquid to flow?
The attraction between molecules, known as intermolecular forces, affects the ability of a liquid to flow by influencing the viscosity of the liquid. Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher viscosity and reduced flowability, as molecules require more energy to overcome these forces and move past each other. On the other hand, weaker intermolecular forces lead to lower viscosity and better flowability as molecules can move more easily.
What is the difference between viscosity and transparency?
transparancy is how much light can get through something, and viscosity has to do with thickness of a liquid
How viscosity affect volcanic eruptions?
Viscosity is how thick the magma is and this can impact on how much a volcano erupts and how it flows.
How viscosity of liquid depends on temperature?
Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow. Viscosity decreases as the liquid is heated. Molecular shape of the components making up the liquid can affect viscosity. Small round molecules make little contact and can move more freely making a compound less viscous. The viscosity of a fluid is basically a measure of how sticky it is. Water has a fairly low viscosity; things like shampoo or syrup have higher viscosity. Viscosity also depends on temperature - engine oil, for instance, is much less viscous at high temperatures than it is in a cold engine in the middle of winter.
What is the term for how much space an object takes up when placed in a liquid?
Displacement ... and, hence, displaced volume.
What is the role of viscosity in cough syrup?
The term viscosity refers to the smooth liquid flow of something. A liquid more viscocious flows more smoothly than a liquid less Viscocious. I.E. Orange juice to maple syrup. Viscosity in cough syrup is important because when it flows easier, it's much easier for you to ingest and digest.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Volume will determine how much water will be displaced. The volume of an object dictates how much space it occupies, which in turn determines the amount of water it displaces when submerged. Mass alone does not directly affect water displacement.
Why do viscosity affect candy maker?
because viscosity is the thickness of a liquid and in order to make good candy the viscosity has to a certain thickness before you let it cool. If the viscosity is thick than the candy will be like taffy if it is runnier when you take it out than the candy will be hard.
How does the thickness of lava affect nature?
Its viscosity affects the speed of its flow. If it had a low viscosity, then its flow would be much faster and hence more menacing to the environment.
How does Friction occur in liquids?
Friction in liquids is caused by the interaction of molecules as they move past each other. The viscosity of a liquid, which is its resistance to flow, determines how much friction there is in the liquid. When molecules in a liquid move, they create resistance against each other, leading to friction.
