Can you describe a situation in real life in which a viscous substance would be necessary?

The shock absorbers on a car use the viscous properties of oil to absorb energy when the tire hits a bump.
Oil is forced to flow through small holes inside the shock absorber as the wheel moves up, and again as it moves down to its normal position. Without shock absorbers, the car would continue bouncing up and down.
More energy is absorbed if the holes are smaller or the oil is more viscous.
Also, more energy is absorbed if the wheel moves up fast after hitting a sharp bump than if it moves up slower on a gentle bump, so your suspension can be comfortable over small bumps but still control large bumps well.

What is relation between viscocity and density?
The more dense a substance is, the more viscous it is.
What is meant by incompressible viscous fluid?
Which word do you not understand? incompressible - cannot be compressed viscous - resistant to flow, "thick" fluid - substance that flows (both gases and liquids are fluids, but gases are usually compressible; liquids generally aren't)
Is blood Viscous or non viscous?
Blood is viscous, as it contains a hugely populous density of red blood cells therefore making it viscous. A comparison would be to water, which is less than 3 times as viscous as blood, as it contains around less than 3 times the amount of molecules than in blood.
Why is glycerol so viscous?
glcerol is viscous because there is alot of cheese in it.
What is the difference between viscous and non viscous fluid flow?
it mean that it can not be compressed
What is an essential?
A nonpolar chemical substance that is a viscous liquid at ambient temperatures and is both hydrophobic and lipophilic, that is absolutely necessary, or extremely important.
What is an essential oil?
A nonpolar chemical substance that is a viscous liquid at ambient temperatures and is both hydrophobic and lipophilic, that is absolutely necessary, or extremely important.
Does ketchup have viscous?
By viscous, I think you mean viscosity. Viscous is a adjective referring to the thickness of a substance; therefore, yes, ketchup is somewhat viscous.
Why is Substance B more viscous than substance A?
gt
What happens when a substance pours out slowly?
viscous
Which is the most viscous substance on earth?
glycerine
What is the relation between the viscosity and chemistry?
Viscosity is the thickness of a substance; how easily it flows. Molasses> very viscous Water-> not so viscous
What is a zoogloea?
A zoogloea is a colony or mass of bacteria embedded in a viscous gelatinous substance.
Viscous fluidlike substance that binds cells together?
This is probably the interstitial fluid.
What is relation between viscocity and density?
The more dense a substance is, the more viscous it is.
If a substance had a high viscosity does that same substance have a high density?
No. For instance oil is more viscous then water but has a lower density
What is the function of hyaluronic acid in ground substance?
It serves as the viscous fluid of connective tissue proper.
