Yes - a Newtonian fluid (or just a fluid) is one that continues to flow regardless or forces acting on it, and is only governed by temperature and pressure. Gas certainly 'flows' without the use of force: a gas will fill an unoccupied room without any external forces.

Are gasses and liquids fluids?

yes


What is the difference between hydraulics and pnuematics?

Hydraulics are powered by liquids under pressure and pnuematics are powered by gasses, usually air, under pressure. Both liquids and gasses are fluids.


Water is a non compssible fluid?

Fluids include liquids and gasses. Liquids are not compressible. Gasses are compressible. Water is a liquid and it not compressible.


Are gasses and liquids both concidered a fluid?

Yes, both gases and liquids are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of both gases and liquids.


What is are liquids and gasses known as?

Could be Characterized as Many different things. Both are Fluids, meaning they take the shape of their container. Both are matter, albeit different states of matter


Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.


Is gas fluid?

Yes, a fluid is the name for a substance that flows, hence gasses and liquids are fluids.


Are gases and liquids fluids?

A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.


How are liquids and gasses alike?

they are both made of particles


What are the properties of hydraulics and pneumatics?

One similarity is that they both use fluids. Both gasses and liquids are fluids. the two are also compressible.


Fluids include both and?

Fluids include both liquids and gases. Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape, while gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container.


How can temperature affect density in a liquid when temperature is decreasing?

Typically, a lower temperature denotes higher density, but many LIQUIDS are uncompressible (water actually expands slightly as it freezes) and therefore density in maintained. FLUIDS on the other hand encompass both liquids and gasses, of which gasses ARE compressible and will increase in density as temperature drops.
