...If I consider a single droplet, it
takes time to accelerate it in horizontal direction. Honey is stickier,
so greater force is excerted on a honey droplet than on a water
droplet thus causing greater acceleration. Final situation remains
the same in both cases (honey, water), but processess are
different in their rates.
Could you please explain to me what is wrong in my reasoning.
Probably I am just missing here something obvious, but I just
cannot see it.
