Does the density of a fluid change when it is compressed?

The density of a fluid will increase according to applied pressure. Even water can be compressed so much that it eventually turns into a metallic substance. Compressed fluids will however not remain in this state when pressure is released.


What is the difference between a compressible fluid and an incompressible fluid?

The density of a compressible fluid changes with pressure, while the density of an incompressible fluid is not affected by pressure (assuming isothermal conditions).


What are the factors that affect viscosity?

Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.


Will an increase in capillary pressure shift fluid into the capillaries?

An increase in capillary pressure will shift fluid into or out of the capillaries


When you climb a mountain the air pressure increase true or false?

False, air pressure goes down as altitude increases. Air acts like water in the sense that they are both fluids. If you are on the surface of the earth you are in the bottom of the fluid just like water the pressure is higher on the bottom. So when you increase altitude you are reaching the top of the fluid therefore decreasing pressure.


Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?

The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.


When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?

The pressure increases.


What is the force and pressure in a fluid?

The force in a fluid is the result of the pressure exerted by the fluid on an object. Pressure is the measure of the force per unit area applied perpendicular to the surface of an object. In fluids, the pressure is transmitted equally in all directions.


Is a fluid compressable?

A fluid which is reduced in volume by an increase in pressure.


Does the pressure vary according to the density of a fluid?

tellme something about pressure of fluids


What is dynamic pressure?

1: the pressure on a surface at which a flowing fluid is brought to rest in excess of the pressure on it when the fluid is not flowing2: the quantity of air measured by most airspeed instruments and equal to the product 1⁄2 ρV2 where ρ is the density of the air and V is the relative speed of the air


The collision of the molecules of a fluid inside the surface of their container best describes?

The collision of the molecules of a fluid inside the surface of their container best describes pressure.
