Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary factor that determines the viscosity of a fluid?
  • Step 1: Understand what viscosity means. Viscosity is a measure of how thick or sticky a fluid is.
  • Step 2: Learn that temperature affects viscosity. When a fluid is heated, its molecules move faster.
  • Step 3: Realize that faster-moving molecules can slide past each other more easily.
  • Step 4: Conclude that as the temperature of a fluid increases, its viscosity decreases, making it less thick.
