What effect does friction have on a machines efficiency?

Efficiency of the machine is reduced due to loss of energy by friction.


How does friction effect effiecency?

If there is more friction with a machine, efficiency is less.


How does mass effect efficiency?

The mass affects the efficiency of an object. It adds more weight, which causes more friction. More friction=less efficiency


How does friction affect effect the efficiency of a system?

depends on what system your talking about.


What are the different ways the lassen or minimize the effect of friction?

By reducing the contact surface area of the object and by applying the lubricant between the two contact surfaces lassens or minimizes the effect of friction.


Why is fricton necessary to drive a car on a road?

Actually the good effect of friction is: if you drive a car you can make it stop, friction makes it stop. But the bad effect is: friction wears out machines so you can replace it. Hope it helps! :) Also with no friction the tires would just spin and go no place, and steering would be a problem.

What can be done to reduce the effect of friction?

Friction on a moving body is dependent on two basic factors and it can be represented as follows Friction force = (Coefficient of friction between the moving surfaces)*( Normal Force between the surfaces) Reducing any or both of the two factors reduce friction. Coefficient of friction can be reduced by: 1. Making the surfaces smoother.(effective for moving bodies in gas,liquid, or on solid/semisolid surfaces) 2. Applying 'Lubricant'. (effective for bodies moving on solid/semisolid surfaces) The normal force can be reduced for bodies in gas and liquids by reducing the press of the medium. (Hence vacuum and high altitude offer less friction than sea level for space crafts). Reduction of the normal force between solid bodies is not practical for machines since this will entirely alter their usefulness. But of course friction couplings, brakes etc use variation of normal force as main criteria for their operation.


What does efficiency do on a pick-axe?

It doesn't 'do' anything. Efficiency measures the effect something has in proportion to the energy required for that effect.


What is the effect of acid value on the working efficiency of a lubricant?

The effect of the acid value is that it enhances the working efficiency of a lubricant.


What effect does friction have on steel?

What effect does the pencil lead have on the speed of a motor?

Pencil lead applied to the moving parts will improve performance by reducing friction. This may or may not increase the speed of the motor for a given power supply.
