Question

The viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liquid with the highest viscosity will _____.

Answer 1

The liquid with the highest viscosity will reach the bottom last

Step-by-step explanation:

Viscosity means the resistance of a liquid or gas to change shape or resistance to movement. The higher the viscosity the more resistance, so a liquid with lower the viscosity will have less resistance, meaning it will be able to move faster. The liquid with the highest viscosity will have the most resistance so it will move the slowest therefore will reach the bottom last.

Answer 2

The liquid with the highest viscosity will reach the bottom last.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viscosity is the measurement of the liquid or resistance of fluids to flow and it therefore measures its internal friction, as the liquid with high viscosity has its molecular structure gives it a high internal friction when it is moving, so it moves slowly, but the liquid with a lower viscosity has its molecular structure gives it a low internal friction and its resistance to the surface which pass on it is being lower, so it flows faster on the surface.
