What is a liquid?
Q: What is a liquid?
A: A liquid is a form of matter that falls between solid and gas. It has an almost-fixed volume but no set shape, and its molecules can freely move among themselves.
Q: How does gravity affect liquids?
A: Gravity makes liquids take the shape of the container they are in because every small force causes them to change their shape by flowing.
Q: What is viscosity?
A: Viscosity is a measure of how slowly or quickly fluids flow. Fluids with high viscosity, such as tar, may seem solid.
Q: Is it possible to compress a liquid?
A: No, it is difficult to compress a liquid.
Q: At what temperature does a liquid become a solid?
A: If a liquid is cooled down below its melting point or freezing point (which varies depending on the type of liquid), it will become a solid.
Q: At what temperature does a liquid become gas?
A: When heated up above its boiling point, the liquid will become gas.
Q: How do you calculate pressure in liquids?
A: Pressure in liquids can be calculated using the equation p = ρgz where z is the depth of the point below the surface, g is how strong gravity is pulling on the liquid, and ρ is density which tells us how heavy set amount of the liquid is.
