Name 3 common ways you may use to reduce friction?

Reduce contact surface in the direction of friction. Introduce lubrication. Reduce load acting upon the friction surface.


How does a balloon hovercraft work does it have lots of forces acting on it and what does friction have to do with it?

It has lift by having hot air, which rises. Gravity, Lift, and Friction act upon the balloon hovercraft. The friction is a fluid friction known as Air Resistance.


What type of friction has the most friction?

Static friction is the force that is the greatest. This is because it opposes motion the strongest between the various types of friction.


How much friction is produced by brakes to stop a vehicle running at 80kmhr?

friction acting btw the road surface and wheel depends upon the braking retardation of the vehicle. every surface has its own friction coefficient which represents the maximum value , however friction can act in range from 0 to that max value , and this value depends upon the braking retardation.


When you are running on a road you are act Upon by A frictional force of the road. is there another force acting on you?

Yes. Gravity. Air resistance (friction again).


I want 8 class book download online?

There are two main types of friction: kinetic and static. Static friction resist impending motion: the force needed to break before something starts sliding. Static friction stops acting upon the object once it starts moving. Kinetic friction resist motion: the force that is opposing existing motion, i.e. object has already started sliding.


Infer whether balanced forces must be acting on a car moving at a constant speed?

The friction force acting upon the turned wheels of the car cause an unbalanced force upon the car and a subsequent acceleration.


Is sliding friction greater than rolling friction?

Typically not. However rolling friction is somewhat of a myth. Rolling friction is actually caused by static friction. There are really only two types of friction: Static and Kinetic. That's it! Rolling friction is caused by static friction and the coefficient of friction (which determines its strength) is dependent upon the two materials of interaction.


What is friction what are four types of friction?

Friction is most commonly known as any push or pull. There are four types of friction ; sliding friction, static friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction. Sliding friction is when something is sliding against another surface. Static friction is when there is force being applied upon a heavy object or the object is being moved on a rough surface. Rolling friction is when something is rolling on a surface and friction slows it down. Finally, fluid friction is when an object is being slown down on or in water, air, or any others fluid.


What are the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill?

The car is being acted upon by gravity and friction. The reason that the car doesn't slide down the hill is because friction is keeping the car in place.


What is required to get a stationary object moving?

An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).
