Question

possible points: 2
match each property below with correct state(s) of matter. some answer choices may be used more than once or not at all.
density
viscosity
ductility
buoyancy
both solids and fluids
solids only
fluids only
both solids and fluids
:: solids only :: fluids only :: both solids and fluids

Explanation:

• Density: A measure of mass per unit volume, a property of all states of matter including solids and fluids.
• Viscosity: Describes a fluid's resistance to flow; solids do not exhibit this flow-related property.
• Ductility: The ability of a material to be stretched into wires, a mechanical property unique to solid materials.
• Buoyancy: An upward force exerted by fluids on objects (solids or other fluids) immersed in them, so it applies to both solids and fluids interacting with fluids.

Answer:

1. Density - Both solids and fluids
2. Viscosity - Fluids only
3. Ductility - Solids only
4. Buoyancy - Both solids and fluids
