Why is loess better for growing crops than desert pavement?
because it is more water
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. :)
Is it true that due to the force of friction a glacier will start to move downhill once the layer of snow and ice is more than about 30 to 40 meters deep?
False. A glacier will move due to the force of gravity, not friction.
Why does a ice-hockey puck have less friction than a ball rolling on the ground?
Ice has a much smoother surface than the surface of the ground, therefore there is less friction acting on the hockey puck compared to a ball rolling on the ground. Ice is nearly a frictionless surface.
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.
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 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).
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.
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.
What surface would produce the greatist friction on an object?
Carpet has more friction than tile. Tile has more friction than ice.
Does a tire or pulley have more friction?
A tyre has more friction than a pulley.
Why is the friction of rolling bodies less than that of sliding bodies?
Sliding friction is the force impeding movement as a result of two surfaces rubbing against one another. Imagine pushing a cardboard box of books across a concrete garage floor. Rolling friction refers to the frictional forces between a rolling tire and the pavement. The tire gets warm and an inflated tire rolls easier. The sliding friction is much more difficult to overcome than rolling friction.
Do seesaw need more friction or less friction?
than what?
Why is more diffucult to walk on ice than on pavement?
Ice is seriously more slippy.
