Define friction?
mechanical friction is when two mechanics create friction
Explain how friction reduces the efficiency of machines?
one way to reduce friction between two surfaces is to add oil. oil fills in the gaps between surfaces , and keeps many of the high spots from making contact. because there are fewer contact points between the surfaces, the force of friction is reduced. more of the input work then is converted to output work by the machine.
What is the difference between real mechanical advantage and speed ratio?
the difference between the real mechanical advantage and the speed ratio is -the real mechanical advantage gets affected by friction so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the mechanical advantage you calculate. so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the speed ratio (because of the friction) and that's why the efficiency never gets 100% efficient (efficiency ; mechanical advantage/ speed ratio x 100(%))
As a result of friction between internal parts of an isolated system?
The total mechanical energy of the system remains the same.
What is the difference between ima and ama?
Ima is Ideal Mechanical Advantage and Ama is Actual Mechanical Advantage. The difference is that IMA doesn't take into account elasticity or friction and AMA does.
How does friction impact the amount of mechanical energy produced by a machine?
Friction in a machine can reduce the mechanical energy produced by increasing the amount of energy lost as heat. Friction between moving parts causes resistance, which converts some of the mechanical energy into thermal energy. Minimizing friction through lubrication and proper maintenance can help increase the efficiency of a machine and maximize the amount of mechanical energy it produces.
Which describes the relationships between friction and ima for a simple machine?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage ignores friction. Friction is a force that pops up when you move things. Friction in the direction of motion translates to energy -- lost energy. Unless you want to heat up the world.
What is disadvantage of friction?
1) In machines the mechanical parts which rub with each other wear out. 2) Due to friction between the sole of the shoe and the floor the sole wears out. 3) Tyres of vehicles wear out because of friction. 4) Energy is wasted in overcoming the force of friction.
Is static electricity friction between two objects?
yes it's the objects rubbing together and producing an static charge. this is the really simple answer.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of friction piles in construction?
1) In machines the mechanical parts which rub with each other wear out. 2) Due to friction between the sole of the shoe and the floor the sole wears out. 3) Tyres of vehicles wear out because of friction. 4) Energy is wasted in overcoming the force of friction.
Why does the light bulb light?
A bulb lights up because of the friction happening between the atoms usually in the metal filament. thus producing light.
What slows the motion between two objects in contact with each other?
Some of the energy is converted from the motion of the bodies to sound and heat when it is used to overcome friction between the two bodies.
