Hi I don’t really understand the topic of fluids in science anything about them do you mind sending me some explanations and some questions to test myself?

Hello LoyalBlueberry1700,

Thank you very much for your question! First of all, you need to understand that fluids are substances that can be deformed when a force is applied. The fluid then takes the shape of the container in which it is located.

Then, there are two types of fluids: compressible fluids and non-compressible fluids. Incompressible fluids are those fluids that cannot change volume when placed in a confined space. Liquids are examples of incompressible fluids.

Finally, there are compressible fluids whose volume can change even if the fluid is in a restricted space. Gases are compressible fluids. Here is a sheet that could help you a lot:

I hope I answered your question. Don’t hesitate to write to us again if any questions persist!

Hello!

Fluids are something that is able to take the shape of a container or a jar.

So, the fluids topic is divided into two categories :

The compressible ones and the incompressible ones.

Compressible fluids are gas, it means that if you get the container to be more narrow, the volume of the gas will fit accordingly. And incompressible fluids are liquids, if you try to reduce the volume of the container, the liquid will refuse to lose volume, because the particles are too close to each other compared to the gas.

Examples of gas in the human body :

Dioxygene, Intestinal gas

Example of liquids in the human body :

Blood, tears, urine, digestive juices, saliva, etc.

I covered what are the fluids. I hope it has been clear for you!

Here is a page about it from Alloprof : https://www.alloprof.qc.ca/fr/eleves/bv/sciences/sciences-les-fluides-compressibles-et-incompressibles-s1131

Have a good day!
