What else can I help you with?
Would it be better to increase or decrease friction in swimming?
If you want to swim faster, then decreasing friction would help you with that - Less friction means you glide easer through the water. If you want a more efficient workout then increasing friction would help you with that. If you were to put a track suit on before entering the water you'd have to work a lot harder for each lap in the pool.
Is friction something you want to reduce?
no, actually many inventions or things work on the basis of friction for example a pen it works on the basis of friction.Anything that would once be in motion would never stop.
What activities would you want less friction?
Activities like driving, exercising, and collaborating with others would benefit from less friction.
Why do you need friction on animals?
Because without the friction on animals the the neutrons of the atoms would not be able to work properly.
How would life be without friction?
Without friction, it would be difficult to walk, drive, or hold objects in place. Machines would not work efficiently and sports would be very different. Overall, life would be more challenging and less predictable without friction.
How can you decrease the friction between your hands and a piece of equipment?
I am not sure if you would want to decrease the friction on your hands, because in the case of using a screwdriver, for example, the friction causes your hand not to slip. However, in a situation where it may be beneficial to reduce friction, anything from sweaty palms to greasy palms would work. (they reduce the frictional coefficient) As an alternative, since frictional force is F = mu * N, you can also reduce F by reducing N (the normal or perpendicular force). In other words, if you want to decrease the friction, don't hold the piece of equipment as tightly.
Which direction does friction work?
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
When might you want to increase friction between two object?
Turning wheels against surfaces would require some amount of friction.
What is the formula for calculating the work done by friction?
The formula for calculating the work done by friction is: Work Force of friction x Distance.
How can you charge your mobile using friction?
Taking the battery out of the phone and rubbing it back and forth against cloth. Although, you would think it would be the static charge from the friction that could help the battery work but its actually the heat generated from the friction. Because phone batteries work better when they are warmed.
Do you want to reduce friction when you are sitting on a park bench?
Normally you would not want to do so. If there was no friction, you would slip right off the bench onto the ground. You need some friction in order to stay in one place.
How is friction helpful whilst driving a car?
There are many ways that friction is helpful while driving a car. Probably the most obvious one is the frictional force that exists between the tires and the road surface. If there was no friction, the car would not be able to move. The tires would simply spin in place. Various tire compounds will yield a different coefficient of friction dependent on the application (for example, you would want a higher coefficient of friction in racing slicks than you would need for street tires). There are areas of the car where reducing the coefficient of friction based on the specific materials used would be more helpful. For example, you would want as little friction as possible to occur between internal engine components like that between the piston rings and the cylinder wall because you want your engine to be more efficient (the engine doesn't have to work as hard to produce power if it doesn't have to work against it's own internal friction). Hope that helps!
