AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the correctness of Option B for Question 8 regarding viscosity. Participants express confusion about the question's validity, suggesting that Options A and D could also be correct. The relationship between temperature and viscosity is highlighted, noting that high temperatures lead to lower viscosity and vice versa. It is emphasized that low viscosity results in higher terminal velocity due to reduced resistance, while high viscosity leads to lower terminal velocity. Ultimately, the consensus is that only one answer can be correct, raising questions about the clarity of the question itself.

The question is attatched. The question is number 8.

I simply do not understand, if the question is right at all, because I believe that options A and D are both correct. But, B it seems is the answer. High temp means low visc. and vice versa, leading to A and D being correct.

Please explain why B is correct

Low viscosity means higher terminal velocity. (Less resistance)
High viscosity means lower terminal velocity.
Only one option can be right.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
