What else can I help you with?
What is it called when friction stops something from moving?
The frictional force needed to just stop something from moving is called limiting friction, and the object is said to be in limiting equilibrium.
Could you pick up something without friction?
In theory, yes, it is possible to pick up something without friction if the object is in a zero-gravity environment or if the force applied is greater than the force of friction. However, in everyday situations on Earth, it is difficult to pick up something without some level of friction present.
Wearing something down by friction is called?
Wearing something down by friction is known as erosion. It can also be caused by an abrasion, adhesion, cavitation, and vibration.
What kind of friction is the one that must be overcomed in order to start something moving?
The type of friction that must be overcome to start something moving is static friction. This friction exists between the surfaces of the object that is stationary and another object it is resting on. Once the force applied overcomes static friction, the object will begin to move.
What does the coefficient of static friction represent?
In free space or on a frictionless surface, it takes no force to move something. Where there is friction, the ratio of (force necessary to start it moving horizontally)/(the object's weight) is the coefficient of static friction on the horizontal surface.
Do rubber tyres show more friction or less friction?
Rubber will have a high coefficient of friction on most surfaces, but we cannot know whether there is more or less friction unless we have something to compare it to.
What is the relationship between speed and friction?
Friction decreases the speed of something rubbing against something else.
What is it called when friction stops something from moving?
The frictional force needed to just stop something from moving is called limiting friction, and the object is said to be in limiting equilibrium.
If you push something west what direction does friction push?
friction pushes east
What does portrayed mean?
It means to represent something.
What make friction?
usually when you rub on to something it creates heat so that makes friction. Ice has no friction because it slips
Is there any friction besides fluid friction in swimming?
There is 'skin friction' also know as drag. There is also lubricated friction.
What force slows a marble rolling flat on a surface?
The force that slows a marble rolling on a flat surface is friction. Because friction is what stops something when it's moving. Like when you throw a ball, it starts going slower, and slower, and slower, until it stops. Why? Well you know a force is involved in something like this! But what kind? It's called: Friction!
When did the world know finally about friction?
i am doing a science project about friction i just want to know when the world knew about friction and how i think it came about when newton discovered it
Creating a mnemonic device involves?
finding something familiar to represent something unfamiliar.
Does inertia need friction for something to move?
no
How fast or slow something is moving?
Friction
