Fluids
What is a fluid?
This refers to the thickness or thinness of a liquid
What is viscosity?
This is the equation for finding density
What is mass divided by volume?
The ability to float in water or air or some other fluid
What is buoyancy?
These types of liquids do not mix together
What is an immiscible liquid?
This fluid is used to transport and take materials to cells in the human body
What is blood?
Ketchup, molasses, corn syrup, and honey are all examples of liquids that have this
What is high viscosity?
The amount of space occupied by an object is called this
What is volume?
This state of matter is the most compressible
What is a gas?
Objects made of the same material always have the same density (T or F)
True
This fluid cools the body
What is sweat?
Water and vegetable oil are examples of liquids that have this
What is low viscosity?
This is a measure of the amount of matter in a substance or object
What is mass?
This state of matter is the least compressible
What is a solid?
When water freezes, it becomes more dense (T or F)
False (less dense)
This is a fluid that we all need to survive, it can be found in water
What is oxygen?
This is one way to determine whether a liquid has high or low viscosity (hint- think of our experiment)
What is speed?
This is the measurement of the force of gravity pulling on an object
What is weight?
The distance between molecules of matter is called the _________ distance.
What is the intermolecular distance?
Everything that has mass and volume is considered to be this
What is matter?
This fluid eliminates dissolved waste from the body
What is urine?
This type of characteristic can be described using your 5 senses
What is an observable characteristic?
This is the measure of the amount of matter in a given volume of a substance
What is density?
Aside from buoyancy, what other force acts on an object in a fluid
What is gravity?
Liquids have a definite shape (T or F)
False (Liquids do not have a definite shape)
