Substance 1: Corn Starch and water? Substance 2: PVA and Borax? Substance 3: Glue and Borax? Substance 4: Glue and Starch Solution?
Neither a solid or liquid… So what are they? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7a84816i_g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUMX_b_m3Js
NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7a84816i_g
According to Time Warp, what are some examples of Non- Newtonian fluids? • Corn Starch and Water • Blood • Ketchup
A non-Newtonian fluid is a substance that is dilatant, that is, under stress, the material dilates or expands.
Unusual Properties of Non-Newtonian • Under low stress, such as slowly pulling on the material, it will flow and stretch. If you are careful you can form a thin film • Pull sharply (high stress) and the material breaks • Pour the material from its container then tip the container upward slightly, the gel will self siphon • Put a small amount of the material on a table and hit it with your hand, there is no splashing or splattering • Throw a small piece onto a hard surface, it will bounce slightly • Stuff the material, through a tube, die swell occurs as it emerges
Some other Non-Newtonian Fluids: • Quicksand, • wet sand on the beach, • some printer’s inks, • starch solutions, • Silly Putty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUMX_b_m3Js
