Can friction ever be reduced?
Yes friction can be reduced.Merely by using a surface type which is much smoother.Therefore the friction will be largely reduced.However it can never be diminished as it will be ever present.
Does clay have more friction than sandpaper?
Yes, clay does have more friction than sandpaper. This is because, clay is a much heavier object/material then sandpaper, therefore if you were to drag a lump of clay on the floor and measured the friction, it would be higher then the amount of friction caused by sandpaper. If the amount of force needed to pull the clay is larger then the amount of force needed to pull the sandpaper, that means that there is a much larger amount of friction present, because the more friction there is present, the harder you would need to pull. Hope this helps.
Ways friction can be harmful?
harmful friction is when friction can do harm or be a problem for example of this is if your skiing down a hill with grass you will have to much friction then you fall and get hurt :p
How much friction is there in the human brain?
Generally, friction is the result of the resistance between two or more moving surfaces. Also speaking generally, there are no moving parts in the brain, and movement in the brainpan is not a good thing. So, all things being normal, there is no friction in the brain.
Why does carpet have so much friction?
A carpet has so much friction because it has a coarse surface, causing the surface to rub against it and cause friction.
What types of friction aren't used much?
There are three types of friction and all are all actually used often. These are static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction.
How important is stock control?
"Stock control is very important! It is what keeps things running smoothly. Stock control insures how much or a product you have, how much you need, and when to restock. It is the order to the whole business."
When is there not much friction?
on mars
Does rolling friction tend to oppose motion more than sliding friction does?
Generally, sliding friction is much stronger than rolling friction.
Does a car run because of the frition or reaction force from the ground is the friction static friction or kinetic friction?
No. the car runs by how much gas you have and how much power your car engine has.
How is friction helpfull?
Friction is helpful so you dont fall and friction helps things work much better than others. friction can also be helpfull when someone is driving. for an example on a slippery road frictio between the tires and the road stops the cars from sliding off the road and crashing. In sports friction stops the ball from going on forever. without friction we would just keep going on and on with out stopping. friction helps stop a bicycle from going on forever when we push the brakes in a bicycle it creates friction, which slows us down to a stop.
How do you reduce friction on a car?
remove as much space touching the surface which will cause friction.
