What can friction cause?
It can cause things to stop. (===========================) friction did that
What is the work of oil in gas engine?
Lubrication. If the engine loses its oil, then the internal engine parts are not lubricated and will therefore expand because of increased friction (generates heat). This will cause the engine to seize.
What is meant by engine wear?
Any mechanical movement produces friction. Friction, even with oil to assist reducing it wears an engine so tight fitting pistions for example become slighty losser and this can cause reduced power.
What would cause an engine knocking noise when engine is hot?
Low oil or low oil pressure, bad oil pump, clogged or gummed up lifters or even thin oil can cause low oil pressure. All the possibilities mentioned can cause the engine to be starved of lubrication. Which in turn creates friction that heats the metal engine part so that their tolerances change. Change in tolerances between two parts can cause knocking with increased heat from this friction.
Why do you use oil in your engines?
For lubrication. Steel on steel would cause friction with would lead to heat which would cause seizing of parts and destroy the engine.
When there is no friction a gliding puck will what?
the friction will cause it to stop
If you dont have enough oil in your car would this cause your engien to over heat?
Not enough oil in a vehicle will not cause the car to overheat but instead fail due to oil starvation. The engine is have to much friction occur on the internal components which will cause the engine to fail.
What is friction between moving parts of an engine?
Friction is cut down in a car engine for two very important reasons. First, cutting down friction increases horsepower. It takes horsepower to overcome friction; so anything that can be done to cut down friction will increase the horsepower. Second, friction causes heat to be produced. Too much heat is bad, because if the engine gets too hot, then metal is softened and weakened, leading to failure of engine parts. The engine has a cooling system to remove unwanted heat, but too much friction would require a larger and more efficient cooling system to remove the excess heat, which would add expense and weight to the car. Motor oil is used to cut down the friction in the car engine. Also, very close tolerances in production of engine parts helps to cut down friction.
How does friction affect your skin?
Friction of the skin can cause chaffing and chapping. The friction can cause bed sores in people that are bedridden, and irritation in people that are active.
Does friction decrease or increase?
Wax, due to it filling the pores that cause friction will reduce friction.
What is a source of heat in an engine?
Friction
Does inertia cause friction?
No.
