too much heat generated, or in the case of a motor, if a small shaving gets rubbed against the inside of the motor (cylinder), thecylinder will be damaged.

Can you shot an A5 12 ga without friction rings?

The weapon was not designed to be fired without the friction rings. You risk damaging it if you fire it without them.


What are some examples of good and bad friction?

Good friction: the traction between tires and the road that allows vehicles to grip the surface and drive safely. Bad friction: the resistance between moving parts of a machine that causes wear and tear, leading to decreased efficiency and potentially damaging the equipment.


Why did people use oil?

Oil is used to lubricate two moving metal surfaces, that would be damaged if there was no oil to prevent friction damaging the two surfaces.


How does friction affect screws?

Friction holds screws in. It also makes insertion harder. With wood screws, one should drill a hole in the wood first. Then, the fibers will twist with the screw, and oppose removal more strongly than insertion. In machine screws, the softer washer distributes the force of the screw, permitting higher frictions in the threads without damaging the joined materials.

Which friction is greater sliding friction or static friction?

Static friction

Sliding Friction


What are the 2kinds of friction?

The two types of friction are static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are at rest relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are in motion relative to each other.

What two ways that friction is harmful?

There are more than two ways. You might need to choose:Friction wastes energyFriction results in heat energy that can be damaging or dangerous because it can result in fires.Friction can result in wear damage to mechanical components.Mechanical components have to be built stronger to withstand the additional stress that occurs at start-ups due to static friction. (Once a system is in motion it has only dynamic friction to cope with.)Friction gradually denatures lubricants requiring their replacement.


What is the plural of friction?

the plural form of friction is friction


Name the three types of friction?

Three types of friction are : 1. Kinetic friction :Friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion. 2. Static friction :Friction that acts between surfaces at rest with respect to each other 3. Rolling friction : Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface. Static, sliding, rolling.
