the answer is b: capillarity (((i just took the test 10-26-09)))
Liquids are able to travel up narrow tubes or threads because of capillary action. This property causes part of the surface of a liquid to elevate above the rest of the surface when in contact with a solid.
Density is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of the substance.
Gasoline has a low viscosity because it has a low resistance to flow.*You can't give viscosity a number. Therefore, the question can't be answered directly.*
Yes, magma viscosity (thickness) and stickiness can be physical properties of magma from explosive eruptions. Higher viscosity and stickiness can lead to explosive eruptions because gas bubbles are trapped in the magma, building up pressure until a violent release occurs.
The resistance of a liquid to flowing is its viscosity.Viscosity is a property arising from friction between neighboring particles in a fluid that are moving at different velocities. In liquids, it could be considered the "thickness". For example, maple syrup has a higher viscosity than water.

Because viscosity refers to the degree of fluidity of a liquid, and that's something visible.It is a physical property.

Viscosity cannot be directly determined from density because the two properties are not directly related. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, while density is a measure of mass per unit volume. To find the viscosity of a fluid, you typically need to perform a viscosity measurement test using a viscometer.
Yes..because of its property that increases the viscosity. It's being used in cleansers.
As particle size increases, capillarity decreases because larger particles have lower surface area-to-volume ratio, reducing the ability to draw in and hold water through capillary action. This is because larger particles have less surface area available for water to cling to compared to smaller particles.
Viscosity changes when another agent is added to a fluid. For example, paint has a fairly thick viscosity and if intending to apply it using a spray gun, one would need to add thinners, varsol, or turpentine to the paint to thin it out so that it will pass through the gun. Thus changing the viscosity.
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly

Viscosity provides a resistance to a fluid being squirted out, say, between a crankshaft and a bearing journal under pressure. So measuring viscosity will be important for predicting how much protection a given fluid will provide.
Viscosity is a quantitative property because it can be measured using physical units such as pascal-seconds (Pa·s) or centipoise (cP). It represents a fluid's resistance to flow and can be precisely determined through experimental methods, making it a quantifiable characteristic of the substance.
