What does friction allow us to do?
In general, friction acts to prevent objects in contact with each other from moving with respect to each other. Friction keeps your furniture where you place it. The friction between your feet [or shoes] and the ground enables you to walk. When you apply the brakes in a car, friction causes the wheels to stop rotating . Friction holds a screw or nail into a board and a nut onto a bolt. Friction between your fingers and an object allows you to pick it up. Friction is proportional to surface roughness. A measurement of the force needed to overcome friction can be used as an indicator of a surface's roughness/smoothness. When friction is used to reduce relative motion (or to get objects moving), a portion of energy needed to do so is dissipated in the form of heat. This is why a car's brakes get hot and why a nail pulled out of a board can feel warm. Usually, this heat is just a waste byproduct, but it can be useful. The friction of rubbing your hands together will warm them, and the heat of driving a nail into a board can be used to temporarily melt the adhesive on 'cement coated' nails.
Why are paperclips important to the holocaust?
Because the Hitler used them as nipple rings!
Is gypsum used to make paperclips?
No. Paper clips are made of an iron alloy.
Can you charge steel with a magnet and can the steel have a temporary magnetic field?
If we take a steel nail and tap it with a magnet in the same way a bunch of times, the magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. The nail will then have become a permanent magnet. The magnetic strength of the nail will not be great like the magnet that created it, but it will be present and will be permanent. The nail could then be used to pick up iron filings just as the magnet could be used to do that.
Why don't my fingernails grow from the sides. I used to pick my skin on the side of my nails. Now they don't grow. How do you make them grow into a proper nail?
try using some nail mineral power growth stuff, its like clear nail polish, you could get it a cvs. oor anyother place
What types of friction aren't used much?
There are three types of friction and all are all actually used often. These are static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction.
A Study was done with an electromagnet system made from a battery and wire wrapped around a nail. Different sizes of nails were used the number of paper clips that the electromagnet could pick up?
i am pretty sure the size of nail doesn't matter.
Where is nail polish used most?
NAil varnish is used mostly on nails.
What does friction have to do with friction?
The type of force used.
What is a nail set used for?
Nail sets are also called a nail punch. They are used to drive the head of a nail flush with the surface or below the surface.
What is a galvanized nail?
a galvanized nail is a nail that has got a zinc anti detterent on it this prevents the rusting of the nail and is used for construction
What was acrylic nails used for?
acrylis was used for creating teeth and was used by a lot of dentist. then a dentist damaged his nail and put some of the acrylic on his nail and that was the first acrylic nail.
