Detailed explanation-1: -false. liquids with high viscosity flow slowly. liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fluids with low viscosity have a low resistance and shear easily and the molecules flow quickly; high viscosity fluids move sluggishly and resist deformation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Viscosity is a measure of resistance to liquid flow. Thus, a higher value means it has more resistance and thus flows more slowly.
Detailed explanation-4: -Liquids which flow very slowly, like glycerin or honey, have high viscosities. Those like ether or gasoline which flow very readily have low viscosities.
Detailed explanation-5: -Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion.
