Why are parts of machines that slide over each other often bathed in oil?
Because if there is no oil then there wouldn't be enough friction for it to slide past each other.
How could an unbalanced force work on each year and rest on the floor and the floor make it slide across the room?
i wish i knew how
What is another way to reduce friction?
Friction can cause a lot of damage on rough surfaces. Friction also reduces the efficiency of mechanisms and releases heat that can damage parts, so we often want to minimize its effects by reducing the surface areas that are in contact or using a lubricant such as, oil, grease, and graphite.
Friction and gravity always a hindrance?
No. Often a help.
Why did Rube Goldberg make machines?
Rube Goldberg didn't make machines. He was a newspaper cartoonistwho often drew impossibly complicated and impractical machines.
What is ball bearings?
it is a mechanical equipment to reduce friction. It is used in moving parts very often.
Why do athletes shoes often have cleats on them?
for traction.

What is lubricant fluid?
A lubricant (sometimes referred to as "lube") is a substance (often a liquid) introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce the friction between them, improving efficiency and reducing wear. Lubricant Fluid may refer to : - Lubricating fluid used in cars. - Lubricant used in sexual behavior. - Synovial fluid : the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement.
Why are parts of machines that slide over each often bathed in oil?
Because if there is no oil then there wouldn't be enough friction for it to slide past each other.
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 force causes a moving object to slow down?
Any force that acts in a direction opposite to the movement. Quite often, this will be friction.

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.
How do you stop friction on a roller coaster?
they hug the rails HELP ive got a HUGE science taske about rollercoasters and its really hard!
