Adhesion:_________________________________________________________
Example:___________________________________________________________

Question:
1. What is the relationship between flow rate and viscosity? Use a real example

2. Use the term viscosity to explain how wetting agents are used to help fight
fires?

3. How does adhesion affect flow rate?

4. Explain why fluids travel faster near the centre of pipes and tubes than at the
edges?

5. Use two different types of liquids and write find the flow rate of each using the
same amount fluid.
