A fluid is anything with 0000008800 flow. Liquids
and•o•
gases are sometimes called fluids. They share some
useful properties. When you study fluids, you may need to
think about the following properties:
Mass is the oaooB•oEooaq
amount of matter in the fluid object. It is often
grams (g) or sooooooo
measured in oooo kilograms (kg).
Volume is the ooooa•
amount of space-000008000
taken up by the matter.

Volume can be measured in litres (L) and millilitres (mL) or
•
in cubic centimetres (cm3) and cubic metres (m3).
Density refers to how tightly packed the particles-00000000
are in the fluid, or the
mass of a substance per the oooo
ooo@oo•o unit volume. Density is often measured using •a
rate, such as grams per millilitre, or g/mL. .
Compressibility is the oa@eeoo•ooaooooo@aoo
ability of a fluid to be pushed into a smaller volume.
When you apply oooo
pressure to some fluids, they will oooo
compress. , We use
compressedoooo
gas in oooooooq
wheels for vehicles. Other fluids, like oooo
water for example,
do not change oooo
volume much under pressure.
Viscosity is a special property of fluids which measures theooOB•
resistance of a
fluid to flowing or moving. Thick ketchup does not ooo
oeEo•oooo• flow or move at the same
rate as aaaa more viscous than oooo
water. Therefore ketchup is consideredooo water. .
viscosity in that it measuresoeooodo-oo.BE
Flow Rate is similar tooooo how quickly a fluid flows
in a given amount of time. It is often measured inooredoo
••oooooo volume per second. .
Fluids make it easier to use materials and help machines run.

• Household Materials - Toothpaste and liquid soap are examples of how
fluids are used around the home. Liquid soap gives surfaces a slippery
feel and also loosens dirt. This makes it easier to wash things off your
hands or your dishes.

• Technological Devices - A car’s engine uses oil as a lubricant. It reduces
friction and heat between moving parts. Liquid crystal display (LCD)
devices use some of the properties of fluids to create visual images.

• Living Things - Blood carries oxygen to parts of the body. Tears, saliva
and sweat are other body fluids that help the body work properly.

• Natural Environments - Water over a smooth surface is called
sheet flow while water through rapids is considered turbulent flow.
River systems, ocean currents and wind patterns develop from the
properties of fluids. Even lava flows from volcanoes demonstrate
measurable fluid properties like viscosity and flow rate.
