What else can I help you with?
What are the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the Earth's system?
convection (from the movement of fluids), conduction (through solids), and radiation (through air and space).
Why are solids and liquids condensed materials?
They are condensed materials because that's what makes them what they are. The more condensed a substance is the less it can flow. Gases are the least condensed, so they flow the easiest, followed by fluids, then solids.
Why can't solids flow?
the atoms and molecules are packed so close together there is no room for them to pass through each other
Why solids do not flow?
Solids do not flow because there is very little intermolecular space between them and hence they hold each other very tightly so they cannot flow
Substances that do not flow when poured?
solids i guess
Can heat transfer by convection happen in a solid?
No, heat transfer by convection requires the movement of fluids to transfer heat. Since solids do not have the ability to flow like fluids, heat transfer by convection does not typically occur in solids. Heat transfer in solids usually occurs through conduction, where heat is transferred through the vibration of particles.
Why solids are not called fluids?
Solids are not called fluids because solids have a fixed shape and volume, while fluids can change shape and flow to fill the container they are in. Solids have particles that are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, whereas fluids have particles that are able to move past each other.
Why can't heat be transferred by convection in solids?
Heat cannot be transferred by convection in solids because convection involves the movement of a fluid due to temperature differences, but solids do not flow like fluids. In solids, heat is primarily transferred through conduction, where the heat is passed from one particle to another through direct contact.
Can a solid flow?
yes indeed solids can flow as well. all states of matter are fluids.
Why does transfer of heat not take place in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat does take place in fluids. In fact it can take place more efficiently in fluids than in solids because convection is possible in fluids.
Why convection cannot take place in solids?
Convection relies on the movement of fluid particles, such as air or water, to transfer heat. Since solids do not have freely moving particles like fluids, convection cannot take place within them. Heat transfer in solids typically occurs through conduction, where heat is transferred through the vibration of atoms or molecules.
Why do fluids liquids and gases flow?
because, unlike solids, they can't sustain shearing stress
What are examples of non fluids?
Some examples of non-fluids are solids (such as ice, wood, and metal) and gases (such as air, oxygen, and carbon dioxide). These substances do not flow and have definite shapes or volumes.
What is the difference between fluids and solids?
Fluids can flow and take the shape of their container, while solids have a fixed shape and volume. The particles in fluids are not tightly packed and can move past each other, whereas the particles in solids are closely packed and vibrate in place. Examples of fluids include water and air, while examples of solids include wood and metal.
What is the difference about the intermolecular forces of attraction between the phases that allows fluids and gases to flow but prevent solids from flowing?
Fluids and gases have weak intermolecular forces that allow particles to move past each other, enabling flow. In contrast, solids have stronger intermolecular forces that hold particles in fixed positions, preventing flow. This difference in intermolecular forces allows fluids and gases to flow easily, while solids maintain their rigid structure.
Which type of heat transfer creates currents and cannot occur in solids?
Convection heat transfer creates currents and cannot occur in solids. Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) due to differences in temperature and density. This process helps distribute heat in fluids, such as air and water.
What property do liquids and gases have that solids do not have?
Liquids and gases are able to flow and take the shape of their container, while solids maintain a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases are considered fluids due to their ability to flow, in contrast to solids which are rigid and maintain their shape.
