Does stopping on slippery surfaces require longer stopping distances?
I slippery surface means that there would be less friction, which is what helps cars come to a stop (brake). So the less friction there is the longer it will take to stop
Why wet surface is more slippery?
Wet surfaces are more slippery because the coating of liquid acts as a lubricant which reduces the frictional forces exerted between objects in contact. Thus, the magnitude of the forces opposing motion are lessened to some extent.
Why do slippery liquids reduce friction?
Friction is phenomenon you see between two rough surfaces. A slippery liquid or lubricants when applied, coats over these rough surfaces creating a layer of the lubricant itself. Liquids like lubricants has very low viscosity, that is the sliding friction between two liquid layers, hence they easily slip over each other. In this way they help reduce friction.
Which is the best lubricant to reduce friction between two surfaces?
the best lubricant to reduce friction between two surfaces is to put butter or olive oil on to make the surfaces slippery o
What is one way that you could reduce friction between two surface?
We can decrease friction by lubrication - that is to say, we put in some slippery substance, usually oil - or by separating the two surfaces with something that rolls, ball bearings or wheels of some kind.
Are lubricants used to dampen rough surfaces?
Lubricant are not used to dampen rough surfaces. They are used to smoothen the surfaces. They reduce friction through the slippery lubricants on the surfaces.
When do you use the L gear in your Toyota Camry?
When you drive on slippery surfaces.
How do penguins grip on slippery surfaces?
Because have little lets say grips at the bottom of there feet!
What can pose more danger to motorcyclists and cause them to change their position?
Gravel, potholes, or slippery surfaces
A mineral commonly used for melting ice on slippery winter surfaces is?
halite (salt)
Why you not make the stairs of your house well polished and shiny?
B/c that'd make them slippery. People fall on slippery surfaces, and falling in a stair can be real bad.
What is safety SHOES?
Safety shoes are shoes with a non-slip sole and a steel plate over the toes. The non-slip sole helps your traction on slippery or greasy and oily surfaces. The steel plate protects your toes in the event you drop a heavy object on your toes.
What types of weather cause friction on surfaces to decrease?
Colder temperatures can cause friction on surfaces to decrease as it can make surfaces more smooth and slippery. Rain or wet conditions can also reduce friction due to the presence of moisture on the surface. Additionally, icy or frosty conditions can lead to a decrease in friction as the ice or frost can create a slippery surface.
Will it hurt your jeep Cherokee Laredo to drive in part time 4 wheel?
Part time is only for use on slippery road surfaces. It causes binding in the axles and transfer case if used on dry pavement.Part time is only for use on slippery road surfaces. It causes binding in the axles and transfer case if used on dry pavement.
A mineral commonly used for melting ice on slippery winter surfaces is what?
Halite (rock salt) which is used on driveways
Is acids or base slippery?
friction is a slowing force which happens when two surfaces rub against each other. Rough surfaces create stronger friction than smooth ones do. This is why slides are given smooth slippery surfaces. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to slide down a rough concrete ramp?
What does part time mean on my 2004 jeep liberty?
That is 4 wheel drive. You are allowed to drive in that range on slippery surfaces.
