The excess friction will cause the moving parts to heat up - even to becoming red hot! A cooling system: water, fans and radiator, or lubricating oil, is used to reduce the friction and so lessen the wear and tear on the moving parts.

Why it is important for you to reduce friction on compound machine?

Reducing friction on a compound machine is important because it helps improve the efficiency of the machine by minimizing the energy lost due to friction. Lower friction also translates to less wear and tear on the machine's components, ultimately extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance needs. Additionally, decreased friction can enhance the overall performance and precision of the machine's operations.


How does friction affect the work of a machine?

Well, if, for example, you had interlocking gears, the friction would slow down the speed of how they turn. Friction also causes heat, so too much friction could make a computer or a more advanced machine, melt inside. I think that DEFINETELY affects the work of a machine.


How is friction not helpful?

When moving machine parts rub together, skidding on floor, airplane flight (too much air resistance), sledding down a hill.


What happens if there is to much friction?

If there is too much friction, it can cause excessive heat buildup leading to damage or wear on the surfaces in contact. This can result in decreased efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential failure of the components involved due to overheating.


What is lube used for?

Without sexual lubrication there will too much friction causing brusing, or pain on the vagina or penis. Lube keeps too much friction from happening.


Why is grease used in machine?

Grease and oil is used in machinery to prevent the moving parts from wearing out too soon due to friction.


What are two sources of friction?

Not sure if you mean 2 types of friction. Two types of friction can be just friction with the ground, and air friction such as drag on any vehicle, or any type of flying machine. Other objects can have air friction too, but not as much as something moving at a higher rate of speed.


What is fussing machine?

a fussing machine is a person who fusses way too much


How does friction reduce the efficiency of machines?

Friction is cased by parts of the machine rubbing past one another. When this happens the parts tend to stick to each other which slows down the machine and heats up the parts. Thus the energy used to drive the machine is diverted from the purpose for which the machine was constructed and the machine becomes less efficient. To reduce friction and make the machine more efficient, lubricants (eg oil) are used to make sure that parts that come into contact can slide past one another more easily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friction causes machines to slow down, and heat up. effecting efficiency negatively first off excess causes a decrease in speed increase in wear on parts. Also friction causes heat which causes metals to expand. For optimal mechanical efficiency, friction is the enemy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friction decreases efficiency. This is because when there is friction, heat is created. Therefore some energy is lost in the form of heat.


What will happen if there is too much friction?

Too much friction can cause overheating, wear, and damage to the surfaces in contact. This can lead to a decrease in efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential failure of the components in contact. Lubrication is often used to reduce friction and prevent these negative consequences.


Why do your tires smoke when peeling out?

Because they are generating too much friction and burning.


What will happen of there is too much friction?

If there is too much friction, it can lead to overheating, wear and tear of the surfaces in contact, and reduced efficiency in mechanical systems. This can also result in increased energy consumption and potential damage to the components involved.
