    Gases viscous
AI Thread Summary
Gases become more viscous at higher temperatures due to increased kinetic energy, which leads to more frequent particle collisions. While higher kinetic energy allows gas particles to move past each other more easily, the increased number of collisions ultimately restricts their movement. This phenomenon is akin to a spacecraft overcoming gravitational pull at higher speeds. Thus, the viscosity of gases is influenced by the balance between kinetic energy and collision frequency. Higher temperatures result in greater viscosity due to these dynamics.

I'd expect that since they carry more kinetic energy, they are more fluid.

Thanks!

Why does them carrying more kinetic energy suggest that they're more fluid?
 
Because they can move past each other more easily. Similar to a faster speed of a spacecraft being able to overcome gravitational pull.
 
The more kinetic energy gases get, they also increase the number of collisions between the particles. This increased number of collisions is the reason why gases are more viscous at higher temperatures, because their particles are not able to go very far without colliding.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
