Our molecular model of matter describes a fluid as consisting of lots of little particles (atoms or molecules) moving around very fast. Collisions between the molecules makes the particles of the fluid
change directions and speeds often and randomly. We've talked about two different phenomena that depend on these random molecular interactions: viscosity and diffusion. Viscosity is the way
collisions with other parts of the fluid slow down faster-moving bits of fluid, and diffusion is the way collisions spread out concentrations of molecules. Let's consider the viscosity and diffusion
coefficients might depend on the properties of the fluid by dimensional analysis

Imagine you are in line to enter a brand new shopping mall and you are very much excited because after months of waiting, you will now be able to enter shopping malls after the pandemic. The stores comprising the mall are very popular. These stores include Converse, Gucci, Jansport, Fendi and all other popular brands, and so the demand to enter is very high. Security guards only allow one person through the doors at a time. As a result, the line and the wait are quite long. To add to the chaos, the waiting crowd is made mostly of frequent shoppers who are growing very impatient and holding up the line with their constant complains. Together, these factors affect the flow of customers into the shopping mall, just as electric resistance affects the flow of charges through a current.
1. What makes less resistance favorable in a circuit?
2.If the guard formed two adjacent lines to allow two people into the mall at a time, we would expect the mall to be filled up faster. If we encased these…

- your team is developing insulation for the interior of a spaceship for a trip to Mars. Should you focus on materials with high or low values of Cp? Why?arrow_forwardYou discovered a group of people living in a primitive village that is far from civilization. There are about 40 people living in 12 huts. Their primary source of food is from hunting beasts in the forest, fishing in the river, and farming different crops. During summer, they wear thin clothes to minimize the heat in their bodies. They do not have air conditioning systems or fans that could cool them on such hot days but they usually stay under the trees or near the river where there is plenty of fresh air. At night, they light a campfire to provide heat and to give a little brightness during the dark. Supposing you have with you motors, generators, and transformers (the types are up to you), how would you use them to improve the quality of life of the people in the village?arrow_forwardStan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for intown driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision-making?arrow_forward
- The average American daily diet consists of 2,400 kilocalories. A kilocalorie contains 4814 J. Assume that this daily intake of kilocalories is completely metabolized at a uniform rate over a 24 hour period. What is the average power generation of the average American over the 24 hour period?

This is because this is the same value for how much the average body loses to heat and work in a typical day (your change in energy is zero because you take in the same amount of energy you lose). A) If you lose a total of 8,400,000J (Qout+W=total lost), but consume 1200 calories of food (5,000,000J), what would your change in energy be?
