Why is oil important in a car?
Because it lubricates. Instead of metal-on-metal contact, it puts a film of oil between the metal components, so that it's fluid friction, rather than friction between two solids - the latter of which causes excess wear and can actually fuse components together.
What is the force which tends to present motion between two surfaces called?
If you meant "prevent" motion, rather than "present" motion, the answer is friction.
How come dragons have large butts?
They don't. They have rather narrow pelvis'
Has modernization put an end to discrimination?
No. Rather it has increased it.
How can the efficiency of an inclined plane be increased?
Efficiency is the ratio of power output to power input. It is not the ratio of forces or distances. You can move a load using less force by reducing the gradient of the plane. But what you gain in reduced force you lose in having to travel a greater distance to raise the load through the same height. There is, therefore, no net advantage. The only way to increase the efficiency is to reduce the friction. This can be done by lubricating the plane, or load (or both), or by placing rollers between the load and the plane - so that there is rolling friction rather than sliding friction.
How can you get on your boyfriends nerves?
Why would you want to? It's rather childish to wanna create friction between the two of you. If you're mad at him for some reason, just talk to him. There's no need for games.

What is rolling friction and sliding friction?
I assume this relates to a wheel. When the wheel is rolling, the surface of the wheel is not moving relative to the surface of the road when they are in contact. however, the wheel deforms slightly and because of this, the normal force slightly opposing the motion of the wheel rather than simply pushing it up. This is rolling friction or more commonly known as static friction. When the wheel is sliding, the wheel is sliding over the road's surface, meaning that there is relative movement between the wheel and the road. this is known as sliding friction or kinetic friction.
What is law of dry friction?
The generalized answer is: Friction is equal to the forces acting upon an object.I know only 2 laws of friction.....The first states that friction between two surfaces is proportional to the force pressing one another am assuming its normal force or the perpendicular force.The other states friction is independent of the contact area. That is, the friction is the same whether the brick is on its large face, the smaller side or the small end. Hope this is accurate.When an object is moving, the friction is proportional and perpendicular to the normal force (N)Friction is independent of the area of contact so long as there is an area of contact.The coefficient of static friction is slightly greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.Within rather large limits, kinetic friction is independent of velocity.Friction depends upon the nature of the surfaces in contact.
What is the ability to recognize when a problem is not merely a narrow technical dilemma that lends itself merely to a narrow technical solution but rather is one with some richer moral content?
Reasoning is the ability to recognize when a problem is not merely a narrow technical dilemma.
When a car is anticipating a turn isn't the steering wheel providing the centripetal force rather than the road friction?
No steering wheel won't provide the centripetal only the friction between the tyre and road provides the necessary centripetal. Steering would simply turn the wheels of the car to the desired direction.
