liquid,mobile,runny,smooth and unstable hope this helps


Why is it harder to move through a vicous liquid?

Moving through a viscous liquid is harder because the liquid has higher resistance to flow due to its thickness and stickiness. This resistance causes a drag force that opposes the movement of objects through the liquid, requiring more force or energy to overcome.


What is the force called between liquid particles?

viscosity. Viscosity is the inherent force of a liquid which opposes the relative movement between layers of the said liquid.


Define volatile and viscous?

Viscous means how thick a LIQUID is and how tightly the particles are packed together if the liquid is thick(less runny) it is more viscous if the liquid is thin(more runny) it is less viscous


What is the slowing down of an object by a liquid or by air?

That is called drag. Drag is the force exerted by a fluid, such as air or liquid, in the opposite direction to the motion of an object moving through it. It acts to slow down the object as it moves through the fluid.


What is the definition of viscous drag in an oil lubricant?

If a fluid in laminar flow flows around an obstacle, it exerts a viscous drag on the obstacle. Frictional forces accelerate the fluid backward (against the direction of flow) and the obstacle forward (in the direction of flow). The viscous drag force increases linearly with the speed of the fluid.


What factor affects the viscosity?

Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.


What liquid is less viscous than water?

Liquid nitrogen is less viscous than water.


Can a liquid experience friction?

As liquid flows on an inclined surface there will be frictional force between the bottom most layer and the surface of inclined plane. More over there will be a friction between the successive layer of the liquid. This is termed as viscous force.


What does the word non viscous mean?

Non-viscous is a scientific term that refers to the pouring characteristic of a liquid. A non-viscous liquid is one that pours thinly, with minimal bulging, drop formation or trailing string formation. An example of a non-viscous liquid would be alcohol; a viscous liquid (the opposite) would be maple syrup.


Is viscous liquid a sludge?

A viscous liquid is a liquid that has a thick, sticky consistency. Sludge, on the other hand, is a semi-solid material made up of a mixture of liquid and solid components. While some viscous liquids may resemble sludge in appearance, they are not necessarily the same thing.
