Question

The denser a liquid, the slower it flows. The table below shows the mass and volume of two different liquids.


Comparison of Liquids
Liquid Mass (g) Volume
(cm3)
A 18 10
B 8 20

Which of the two liquids flows slower?
a) Liquid A flows slower.
b) Liquid B flows slower.
c) Both liquids flow equally.
d) This cannot be determined.

Answer 1

b) Liquid B flows slower.

Liquid B has a higher density compared to Liquid A, as it has less mass spread out over a larger volume. Therefore, Liquid B will flow slower than Liquid A.
