Liquids and gases are fluids

Answer 2

$\underline{\underline{\tt \: FLUID \: }}}$

Solids retain their shape because strong forces hold the atoms in their places. In a liquid, the forces keep the atom close together, but they are free to move. In a gas, the atoms are about ten times further apart than in either solids or liquids, and forces between them are very weak. As a result of a liquid and gas can flow freely and assume the shape of their container. they are called fluids.

$\bf \: There \: are \: two \: main \: areas \: of \: fluid \: study:-$

• The field that studies fluid in a state of rest is called static fluid.
• The field that analyzes the movement of fluids is called fluid dynamics.
