What else can I help you with?
What are different ways of decreasing friction?
Making surfaces smooth and hard Rolling instead of sliding (roller bearings instead of sleeve bearings) Lubrication
What is The primary factor in decreasing the Kinetic Energy of an object?
Important factors in decreasing Kinetic Energy are Gravity and 'drag' from Friction.
What are uses of decreasing or increasing friction in daily life?
applying a brake
What is the effect of decreasing the block in contact with the table on kinetic friction?
Decreasing the block in contact with the table reduces the normal force acting on the block, which in turn decreases the frictional force. This results in a lower kinetic friction force between the block and the table.
3 ways of decreasing friction?
smooth surfaces rollerblades cooking spray in pans
Can friction be important?
when i am ask is friction important i say the answer is yes. friction is important and can help people in many different ways. like cars for a example cars use friction to drive on the road. there is many different types of friction to; dry friction, fluid friction, lubricated friction, skin friction, internal friction, ect..... all of these types of frictions can be different a different way.
Activities that require increasing and decreasing friction?
Activities that require increasing friction can include using sandpaper to roughen a surface or tightening the grip of shoes with a shoelace. Activities that involve decreasing friction can include applying lubricant to machine parts or gliding on ice skates with a thin layer of water on the ice.
How can friction be increased?
There are different ways through which helpful friction be increased. The easiest way is using coarser or rougher surface to increase resistance.
How can friction increased?
Friction increases or decreases based on the surface changes. If a box were sliding down a smooth hill that suddenly becomes quite rough, then friction would increase. It would be the same vice versa for decreasing friction.
Why do materials have different coefficient of friction?
Different materials have different coefficients of friction because the materials have different microscopic bumps and valleys which cause the friction to begin with. Coefficients of friction are constant for each material.
What are the uses of decreasing or increasing friction in daily life?
Decreasing friction can be useful in situations like lubricating bike chains, reducing wear and tear on moving parts, and making objects easier to slide or move. Increasing friction can be beneficial for improving the grip of tires on the road, preventing slipping on floors, and enhancing the effectiveness of brakes.
How do wheels reduce friction?
Wheels reduce friction by creating rolling motion instead of sliding motion. This reduces the amount of surface contact and friction between the wheel and the ground. Additionally, wheels can distribute the weight more evenly, further decreasing friction.
