With the increase of temperature, viscosity:

Correct answer: B. Decrease

  • A. Increase
  • B. Decrease
  • C. Remain constant.
  • D. Doubles

Explanation

The relationship between temperature and viscosity can vary depending on the substance. In general, for many liquids, as temperature increases, viscosity tends to decrease. This is because higher temperatures typically lead to greater molecular motion and reduced intermolecular forces, making the substance flow more easily.

About Fluid Dynamics

Fluid flow is described through speed, pressure and density, including steady flow and the equation of continuity for conserving mass. Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, speed and height, while fluid drag and terminal velocity explain why a falling object eventually moves at constant speed when drag balances its weight.
