Definition: In a way that relates to deep feelings or emotions, often instinctive or gut-level reactions.

Example: She viscerally reacted to the news, feeling a deep sense of sadness.

Definition: Having a thick, sticky, or adhesive quality, often used to describe a fluid that is not easily poured or moved.

Example: The viscid syrup clung to the spoon as I tried to pour it out.

Definition: Describing a type of material that has both thick (viscous) and stretchy (elastic) qualities, allowing it to deform and return to its original shape.

Example: The viscoelastic properties of the polymer make it ideal for shock absorption in sports equipment.

Definition: The ability of a material to stretch and return to its original shape while also flowing like a liquid when force is applied.

Example: The viscoelasticity of the polymer allows it to absorb shocks and return to its original form.

Definition: A device that measures how thick or sticky a liquid is, which is known as its viscosity.

Example: The scientist used a viscometer to determine the viscosity of the new paint.

Definition: Relating to the measurement of how thick or sticky a liquid is.

Example: The viscometric analysis helped determine the fluid's properties.

Definition: The process of measuring how thick or sticky a liquid is.

Example: Scientists use viscometry to determine the viscosity of different fluids.

Definition: An instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid, which indicates how thick or thin the fluid is.

Example: The scientist used a viscosimeter to determine the viscosity of the oil sample.

Definition: The measure of a fluid's resistance to flow; it describes how thick or sticky a liquid is.

Example: Honey has a high viscosity, making it flow slowly compared to water.

Definition: Having a thick and sticky consistency that makes it resistant to flow.

Example: The syrup was so viscous that it took a long time to pour out of the bottle.
