What else can I help you with?
Will the pavement or grass heat up faster on a hot day and why?
Pavement will heat up faster than grass on a hot day because it has a lower albedo, meaning it absorbs more solar energy. Grass has a higher albedo and also benefits from transpiration, which helps to cool the surface.
Is there more runoff on pavement than on grass?
Yes there is. Because if it is in the grass it will soak into the soil. :)
Why is loess better for growing crops than desert pavement?
Loess is better for growing crops than desert pavement because loess is a fertile, nutrient-rich soil that retains water well and provides good aeration for plant roots. In contrast, desert pavement is a hard, rocky surface that lacks nutrients, has poor water retention, and limits root penetration, making it difficult for crops to grow.
What is the definition fo micro-texture pavement?
Microtexture is defined as texture ("bumps and dips") in a pavement with a wavelength (distance from "bump" to "bump") less than .5 mm. Most microtexture in pavements is manifested as texture on the individual stones and/or the finer sand in the asphalt mixture or concrete mortar.
What property of water that causes roadways to deteriorate more in winter than in summer?
The property of water that causes roadways to deteriorate more in winter than in summer is freeze-thaw cycles. Water can seep into cracks in the pavement, freeze during cold temperatures, expand, and then thaw. This repeated cycle of freezing and thawing creates pressure within the cracks, leading to cracks and potholes forming on the road surface.
Why is it that pavement creates more friction than grass?
Pavement is smoother and harder than grass, providing a rougher surface for tires to grip onto, thus creating more friction. Grass has a softer and uneven surface, resulting in less traction and lower friction compared to pavement.
Wet pavement is more slippery than dry pavement because of force needed to overcome what friction is less than the force needed to overcome sliding friction?
On wet pavement, the presence of water reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface, making it more slippery. This is because the force needed to overcome static friction (needed to start moving) is less than the force needed to overcome sliding friction (needed to maintain motion). As a result, it is easier for a vehicle to slide or skid on wet pavement compared to dry pavement.
Is sliding friction more than rolling friction?
Yes, sliding friction creates more thermal energy and wears down the two surfaces quicker than rolling friction.
Why is it easier to run across grass than it is along an icy pavement?
Well... An icy pavement doesn't have a lot of friction. Unless you have special shoes used for walking on ice that will give you better grip. Grass has a ton more friction than ice. But if you wanted to get even better grip, use cleats.
What object has more friction wood or a rocky road?
A rocky road has more friction than wood. The irregular surface of rocks creates more contact points with objects passing over them, increasing friction. Wood surfaces generally have smoother textures, resulting in less friction.
Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?
Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.
Do fingerprints on a glass produce more friction or less friction?
Fingerprints on glass can increase friction due to the oil and residue left behind, which creates a rougher surface than clean glass. This rougher surface allows for more interaction between the fingerprint and the object making contact, resulting in increased friction.
What creates the forces that causes a wheel and tire to bounce?
It is called friction Out of balance. More weight on one part of the tire than another.
What creates more friction, concrete or grass?
Grass. This is because carpet (grass or soil) has more friction than a smooth surface like tile (concrete).
Will the pavement or grass heat up faster on a hot day?
Pavement will heat up faster than grass on a hot day because pavement absorbs and retains heat more effectively than grass. Grass tends to have a higher albedo, meaning it reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat compared to pavement.
Does fluid friction have more friction than rolling friction?
yes
Do magnetic motors create more power than they consume?
No. No device creates more power than it consumes. There are always losses - friction, heat, etc. - so it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine.
