Cohesive and Adhesive Forces

We observe various aspects of adhesion and cohesion in our daily lives, including their meaning and examples. These little things keep our lives going on earth, even though, at times, we miss focusing on them. The forces of adhesion and cohesion, despite sounding the same, occur in entirely different ways.  Surface tension describes the relationship […]

Capillary Rise

The mode of action of capillary, sometimes called capillarity, capillary movement or absorption, is the ability of a liquid to flow, even in a confined space without the help of, or we can even say resisting the external forces such as gravity. We can easily define the capillary and the effect which is a phenomenon

Why Water flows faster than Honey: An Application of Viscosity

The word viscosity comes from the Latin word “viscum”, which refers to the gum derived from the mistletoe berries. Viscosity is described as the state of being too thick, sticky, or semi-fluid. In general, whenever we say that a liquid is viscous, we mean that the liquid is very thick. However, in physics, the definition

Viscosity Measurements

Viscosity can be simply explained in non-physical terms as the sticky and thick characteristics of a liquid. However, if we had to describe viscosity in terms of physics, it can be defined as the resistance shown by a fluid to permanent deformation. Viscosity can be understood better by studying liquids like oils, honey, syrup, etc.

Unit of Density

The density of a material indicates how dense that material is in a particular area. The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The density of matter refers to how tightly things are packed together. It is an object’s one-of-a-kind physical attribute. The density principle was established by Archimedes, a

Understanding Newton’s Law of Viscosity

Viscosity is defined as the ability of a fluid or solid to resist the change in its shape and structure concerning stress or force from the adjacent layer; in other words, it is the opposite of fluidity.  Viscosity is divided into two types: dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity. The SI unit of viscosity is pascal-second

Understanding Changes Between Liquids And Gases

Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma are the four states of matter. Fluid cells have a consistent volume but not a consistent form. They cannot be stored without the use of a container. Its cellular attraction is central and mimics Brownian cell movement. The fluid moves from one level to the next at a consistent rate.

Types Of Rocks

In general, any naturally occurring collection of mineral particles makes rock. The solid section of the Earth is made up of a variety of rocks that differ in texture, structure, permeability, occurrence mode, and degree of resistance to denudation. Rocks are categorised into three categories based on their origin: igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic

Types of Ideal Gas

Before we move towards all the other complex terms related with the types of ideal gas, let’s briefly understand what ideal gas means. In simple words, ideal gas refers to the gas that obeys the Ideal Gas Law. This means that in this gas, the molecular forces between the gases and volumes of these molecules

Types and Classes of Solids

There are three states in which matter can exist: solids, liquids, and gasses. Matter is defined as something with some mass and volume that consumes space. Matter is made out of atoms and molecules, and their orientation depends on the state in which matter exists. In the case of solids, the molecules are closely packed with each
