16、.3.Process:A non-Newtonian fluid is strange because you can pour it like a liquid,but if you put any pressure on it,it suddenly becomes hard as concrete(混凝土).In fact,it becomes hard enough to stand on.Then,as soon as you take the pressure off,it becomes a liquid again.4.Theory:This shows that it is
17、possible that something can exist as a liquid and a solid at the same time.Talking about scientific phenomena.can/cannot exist in the form of a solid/gas and a liquid/plasma(血浆).is both a.and a.at the same time how light/sound is reflected This occurs when.If you.,it will become.That demonstrates(表明
