Why is friction sometimes harmful?
Friction has a nasty habit of wearing away surfaces. It can seize up engines if there is no lupricant. It can wear away your clothing and scrape away skin if you fall off your bike. It can cause a burn if when you hands slip while trying to hold a rope. Though friction can cause much trouble we also need it.
What friction do to materials?
Friction can damage materials,slice,and make things move because when you touch, rub or move these things we create friction.
What types of materials can cause friction?
Any type of material has friction because everything has microscopic hills and valleys; some materials have more friction because the materials hills and valleys are larger than other materials.
What is the coefficient of friction between a perfectly smooth body and a very rough body?
The coefficient of friction depends on the type of materials. Different pairs of materials have different cofficients of friction.
Wearing something down by friction is called?
Wearing something down by friction is known as erosion. It can also be caused by an abrasion, adhesion, cavitation, and vibration.
What are the other disadvantages of force?
friction can cause the wearing away of surfaces
What type of friction is responsible for a car's tires wearing away making them smooth after several thousands kilometer?
static friction
What is the process of wearing away earths materials called?
Weathering and erosion
What is attrition in geography?
Attrition is a form river or coastal erosion. It is when friction against the rock particles as they move and become smaller.
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 is the wearing away of the earth's surface?
.

What are the causes of sliding friction?
For example the cause of sliding friction of two materials is when the stress between the Materials is not equal to zero

What is wearing away and removal of rock materials?
This is called erosion.
What has the most friction and why?
rough materials can generate a lot of friction
