Rosa fills a graduated cylinder with 100 milliliters of Liquid X. She fills another graduated cylinder with 100 milliliters of L
iquid Y. Then, at the same time and from the same height, she drops a marble into each liquid. The marble hits the bottom of the cylinder containing Liquid Y first. Which best explains this result?
Liquid X is more viscous than Liquid Y.
Liquid Y is more viscous than Liquid X.
Liquid X’s atoms have weaker attractive forces.
Liquid Y’s atoms have stronger attractive forces.
The correct answer is option A Liquid X is more viscous than Liquid Y
When Rosa fills the cylinder with two different kinds of fluid and then drops a ball into the liquid.
The ball reaches the bottom of the liquid Y first as compared to the liquid X because the viscosity of the liquid X is more than the viscosity of the liquid Y.
Viscosity can be defined as the state of being thick, semi-fluid in consistency, stick, due to which a fluid has a ability to flow.
