When gases liquids or solids are in contact with a moving object the flow of occurs due to frictional forces?
The flow does not always change due to frictional forces when gases, liquids, or solids come in contact with a moving object. Often, the friction is caused by static friction.
What is the difference between bulk motion and diffusion?
The difference between the two is that bulk motion is the flow through the capillary. Diffusion is the movement of the molecules in a fluid.Ê
What is streamling?
the science of shaping objects to reduce drag so that fluids flow more easily around them
Why do jet streams flow parallel to isobars?
Because jet streams are above the friction layer, they have a negligible effect. The wind is balanced by the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient so that the winds flow parallel to isobars.
What is Bagnolds friction law?
Bagnold's law deals with fluid theory. It describes and predicts debris and granular flow down an incline by calculating shear rate.
What uses a cushion of air to reduce friction?
A hovercraft use a cushion of air to reduce friction. In extreme engineering applications there are also air bearings, bearings where a steady flow of air acts as a lubricant between two very finely machined surfaces to keep them apart.
Why does mineral oil reduce friction?
Mineral oil reduces the friction when applied on top of a surface because the adhesion or friction with the oil is less than that for the unlubricated surfaces. Liquids can also flow with the motion rather than create drag against it.
How does friction help reduce scar tissue?
It increases blood flow.
What in electricity is like friction and tends to reduce the amount of current flow like buildup in a pipe reduces water flow?
Resistance inhibits current flow.
How does rubber soles reduce friction?
rubber has so much friction ,because it is appling static friction. 6th grade student
What type of technology is a hovercraft?
Hyperbaric flow control technology.
Why are glidants added to drugs?
Glidants such as silicon dioxide help reduce the friction between particles and hence increase the flow of the tablet granules or powder.
What is the difference between flow and motion?
the difference between flow and motion is well flow is like floating and motion is the way you move
How is the flow of air used in transportation?
Airplanes, Hovercraft's, Cars, Trucks, Helicopters........... Can go on forever....
Is there a real hovercraft?
Yes, they use high pressure air flow to lift the vehicles of the ground on a cusion of air.
What is the medical term meaning study of the motion and flow of urine?
Urodynamics is the study of the motion and flow of urine.urodynamics
How do you reduce friction in toy cars?
The best way to reduce friction in any situation would be to improve your tyres. Slicks will help you go faster but may compromise on grip. Making sure that the tyre is as round as possible during runs also reduces friction. If you see a large portion of the wheel being 'flat' while the car is in motion, it means that a greater area of the tyre is in contact with the ground and hence, there is more friction. Also make sure that the joints between the wheels and the axles are greased so that there's no friction there. If what you're trying to do is make your car go faster, you could consider working on its aerodynamics. Installing parts that smoothen the flow of air along the body and removing those that disrupt it should show you improved results.
