If you use a hacksaw to cut a piece of metal why do they both become hot?

due to heat generated by friction of two metallic surfaces


What is used as a lubricant?

There are a couple of possible answers. Molybdenum is used to lube engine parts during rebuild as it has a lower coefficient of friction than steel. However, the person asking the question was probably thinking of carbon in the form of graphite, which is used as a general purpose dry lubricant where it's not expected that the surfaces will become too hot.


Why the tires of a car get hot when the car is driven?

The simple answer is friction. Spinning tires are coming into contact with the road. The road's surface is not perfectly smooth -- it has a certain amount of roughness so the tires can grip and propel the car forward. Any time you have friction between two surfaces, and one of those surfaces moves to overcome that friction, a certain amount of energy from the process is lost as heat.

Why does a nail head get hot when you pound it into a board with a hammer?

its called friction when you hit it with the hammer the two surfaces rub together aka the hammer head and the nail head


What effects does friction have on surfaces?

Depending on the surfaces in question the effects of friction can be; Wearing down of the surface(s). Build up or creation of heat. Expansion of surface(s) from above mentioned heat. Suspension of wear particles (either in air or liquid). [Think sandpaper on wood for air and metal shaving in oil for liquid].

it becomes hot due to friction

friction


What happens to a machine when it has too much friction?

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.
