Boats usually have low friction (drag) compared to freight trains, but they have considerably more drag than most aircraft, especially the really fast ones. The faster the boat or aircraft, the lower the friction.

What are the basic properties of POMs?

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a high strength, low friction engineering plastic with excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability. It has good chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for use in applications requiring high precision and durability. POM is available in both copolymer and homopolymer forms, with copolymer POM offering improved resistance to thermal degradation.


What is the Coefficient of friction for synovial joint?

The coefficient of friction for synovial joints is generally low, ranging from 0.01 to 0.03. This low friction allows smooth movement of the joints without excessive wear and tear. The synovial fluid within the joint cavity helps reduce friction by providing lubrication between the articulating surfaces.


The resistance of a liquid to flowing?

Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. It is a measure of the internal friction within a fluid as it moves. Liquids with high viscosity flow more slowly than those with low viscosity.


Does wind move from high to low or low to high pressure?

Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. Air always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize pressure differences.


What are the physical properties of machine oil?

Machine oil typically has a low viscosity, high lubricating properties, good thermal stability, and high flash point. It is commonly used to reduce friction and wear in machinery and equipment.

How does friction affect shoes?

Low friction is slippery high friction has good traction. In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).


Is there high or low friction on a football boots?

first they are called cleats not boots and they dont have friction.


Does shoelace have high or low friction?

Shoelaces generally have low friction, making them easier to tie and untie. This low friction allows them to slide through the eyelets of shoes smoothly without getting stuck.


If you go sking do you need high or low friction explain?

When skiing, you need low friction to glide smoothly over the snow. High friction would cause you to feel resistance and make it difficult to slide across the surface. A low friction surface allows you to maintain control and move efficiently.


How is low friction useful in your life?

Friction can be very useful in your life. You need low friction when you ski. If you have high friction you cannot glide easily on the snow. You can also use low friction when you ice skate. If you have high friction you cant glide across the ice. When you use your laptop your keypad has to be able to glide. Some examples of high friction are erasing with your pencil, rubbing your hands together etc.


Is friction high or low on ice?

Friction is low on ice because ice has a very smooth surface, which reduces the amount of friction generated when objects slide across it. This is why it can be challenging to walk or drive on icy surfaces compared to other surfaces with higher friction.
