How does flame occur on a match?
Friction!!
Matchstick when burn on Without friction?
'''The match stick can not light without friction because it needs it in order to light otherwise you will be left with a unlit stick'''.
Why does a match stick light when rubbed on a rough surface?
When a match stick is rubbed on a rough surface, the friction creates heat. The heat then ignites the chemicals on the match head, specifically the phosphorus and sulfur, which undergo a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the air. This reaction produces a flame, causing the match stick to light.
How do you light a used match?
Hold it over a naked flame.
Is lighting a candles wick with a match a conduction and convection?
it could be either convection or radiation that can light a candle wick with a match.The match stick does not retain enough heat by itself to light a wick by conduction. The burning match though gives off enough heat to incandesce the air around the match into a flame. By contact of this convective hot gas (flame) with the wick the temperature of the candle wax can be raised to the ignition temperature. By holding the match close to the wick, without the flame contacting it, the radiant heat from the flame can vaporize and ignite the wax as well. The closer the flame to the wick the more radiant heat can be transferred.
What is the verb of the word flame?
i guess it would be light, as in "light a match", but there isn't really a "correct" answer as far as i know.
How do you supply energy to light a match?
Friction when the head of the match is rubbed against a course surface which in itself creates head whcih ignites the match
Do matches light because of friction?
yes, the red part of the match on the end of the stick along with the red piece on the side of the box have tiny spikes which, when rubbed, create friction. The friction causes heat, which ignites the tip of the match.
What happens when a match is lit?
Matches contain sulfur, glass powder, and an oxidizing agent as the components in the match head. When you strike a match, the friction due to the particles of glass powder rubbing together generates enough heat to convert some of the red phosphorous to white phosphorous, which burns in the presence of oxygen gas. The heat from the friction also causes the oxidizing agent to produce oxygen gas, igniting the small amount of white phosphorous. Once ignited, the oxygen gas fuels the flame while the rest of the sulfur catches on fire. Of course, this entire process happens in a fraction of a second. At this point, the entire match head is on fire, so the oxygen in the air keeps the flame going while the rest of the match burns.
What is superstition in Vietnam?
GI's often made an effort to never light a third cigarette from the same flame (or match).
What energy is transfered when you light a match?
There is a very small amount of kinetic energy in striking the match, but mostly you are releasing chemical potential energy. The match head just requires an increase in temperature to make it burn
What forms of energy happen when you strike a match?
When you strike a match, mechanical energy is used to move the matchstick against the rough striking surface. This generates heat energy due to friction, which ignites the combustible chemicals on the match head. The chemical reaction releases thermal energy and light energy in the form of a flame.
