Question

Select the statements that correctly describe the term viscosity. a.The viscosity of each substance is a constant value that will never change. b.This quantity is high for substances that are resistant to flow. c.This quantity is low for water and acetone. d.Viscosity can be defined as a substance's ability to resist flow.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. VISCOSITY can be defined as a substance's ability to resist flow.

Explanation:

This is the statement that correctly describe the term viscosity. Viscosity explains why substances or fluids resist flow. It shows that internal friction or resistance to flow revealed by a substance. A substance with high viscosity or internal friction resist flow and one with low viscosity flow easily. Viscosity of a substance change base on various factors affecting the substance such as pressure, temperature, surface area. Substances like water has low viscosity explaining why it flows easily.
