Question

matching. match the term on the left with the statement that best describes it on the right.

a substance that has definite shape and definite volume, good to build with a non - newtonian fluid that becomes more liquid when a force is applied a non - newtonian fluid that becomes more solid when a force is applied a fluid that is either a solid or a liquid depending on if a force is acting on it a substance that does not have definite shape but does have definite volume

1. thixotropic

1. solid

1. non - newtonian

1. dilatant

1. liquid

Explanation:

24. thixotropic

Thixotropic substances are non - Newtonian fluids that become more liquid (less viscous) when a force is applied (like shaking or stirring) and return to a more viscous state when at rest. So it matches "a non - Newtonian fluid that becomes more liquid when a force is applied".

25. solid

A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume, and its rigid structure makes it good for building with. So it matches "a substance that has definite shape and definite volume, good to build with".

26. non - Newtonian

Non - Newtonian fluids are fluids whose viscosity changes with the applied force. The description "a fluid that is either a solid or a liquid depending on if a force is acting on it" fits non - Newtonian fluids as their behavior (like acting as solid or liquid) changes with force.

27. dilatant

Dilatant fluids are non - Newtonian fluids that become more solid (more viscous) when a force is applied (for example, quicksand). So it matches "a non - Newtonian fluid that becomes more solid when a force is applied".

28. liquid

A liquid does not have a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container) but has a definite volume. So it matches "a substance that does not have definite shape but does have definite volume".

Answer:

1. thixotropic - a non - Newtonian fluid that becomes more liquid when a force is applied
2. solid - a substance that has definite shape and definite volume, good to build with
3. non - Newtonian - a fluid that is either a solid or a liquid depending on if a force is acting on it
4. dilatant - a non - Newtonian fluid that becomes more solid when a force is applied
5. liquid - a substance that does not have definite shape but does have definite volume
