Why wet surface is more slippery?
Wet surfaces are more slippery because the coating of liquid acts as a lubricant which reduces the frictional forces exerted between objects in contact. Thus, the magnitude of the forces opposing motion are lessened to some extent.
What is one way that you could reduce friction between two surface?
We can decrease friction by lubrication - that is to say, we put in some slippery substance, usually oil - or by separating the two surfaces with something that rolls, ball bearings or wheels of some kind.
Which surfaces absorb heat?
All surfaces absorb some heat.
What is friction and some examples?
created when two surfaces are touching and move past each other. car tyres on the road, moving something on the table... friction happens almost anywhere
Why does some friction occur on smooth surfaces?
Some friction will occur on smooth surfaces because even the smoothest of surfaces isn't completely smooth. There are bumps and cracks on the face of the surface when "zooming in" to a microscopic level.
Some road surfaces are more slippery than others when wet true or false?
yes cement road surfaces are more slippery when wet then asfault yes the worst would be if it is covered by a film of liquid sufficient enough to reduce the coefficient ecstatic friction between the tyre and the road to essentially zero, but not so deep as to introduce a new source of friction
How does the speed of a ball change with the different ramp surfaces?
It depends on the ramp surfaces because some ramp surfaces have less friction than others and some have more friction than others.
Why roads are slippery when wet?
some times because there is oil on the road from cars driving on them and when it gets wet it becomes slippery.
What is a retardent?
On cmv's they are used to aid braking ability and can be turned on or off as necessary. When in operation they may under some conditions increase skidding especially in slippery road surfaces.
Why echo is not produced in many places?
Some surfaces reflect sound well, others don't.
Why wet surface is more slippery?
Wet surfaces are more slippery because the coating of liquid acts as a lubricant which reduces the frictional forces exerted between objects in contact. Thus, the magnitude of the forces opposing motion are lessened to some extent.
What constitutes a hazard in the workplace in reference to moving parts of machinery electricity slippery and uneven surfaces dust and fumes?
it is some thing that as the ability to cause harm or injury
What are some examples of forshadowing?
Foreshadowing is where the author interrupts the story to give clues about whats going to happen in the story so............. An example might be.........It was raining on the road and it was really slippery, something like that Thats foreshadowing that some car might slip in the wet road and crash or something. There could also be a sign that says like caution slippery road. Hope this really helps you:)
Are Converse all-star good running shoes?
No, not really. For running on hard surfaces it's best to have some cushioning under the heels. For running in terrain they are a bit slippery.
What does TC light on Chevy Cobalt instrument panel mean?
That would be traction control, it kicks in when when on slippery surfaces, in some models you can turn it onor off with a button on the shifter.
When is rain covered road most slippery?
. I have found through experience that the roads are more slippery when it has rained a little and the road is not completely covered by water. I believe this because I use to ride a motorcycle. I think their are more wrecks just after it starts raining because people think that the road is still safe to drive fast. Some people do not adjust their speed for the condition of the road until the roads are completely wet.
What are some rough objects?
Sand paper Rough diamonds unshaven male chins Files road surfaces tree bark
