How could you find out if cooking oil reduces friction more than water in an experiment?
Put an object (e.g coin) on a board (e.g. a long piece of wood).
Wet the board with enough water to form a continuous layer.
Carefully tilt the board and measure how high one end must be for the object to just start slipping.
It's a good idea to repeat this and work out the average height.
Dry the board and object.
Repeat the process using oil, wuth the same board and object - so it's a fair test.
If the height (needed to make the slipping start) is smaller when using oil, it means the oil reduces friction more than water.
What else can I help you with?
Does wax increase or decrease FRICTION?
Wax generally decreases friction as it acts as a lubricant between surfaces. When applied to surfaces like skis or snowboards, wax reduces friction between the equipment and the snow, allowing for smoother and faster movement.
What are the substance that are present before the reaction?
Reactants are what are used in an experiment to form a reactant (a product). You could also say ingredients but that is used more in cooking.
What is an experiment that uses a Tech Deck?
Well, you could roll it on different surfaces to see how fast it goes on each surface, and determine which one has the least and most friction.
What is an example of viscous Friction?
An example of viscous friction is the resistance experienced when moving an object through a fluid, such as air or water. This type of friction is proportional to the velocity of the object and the viscosity of the fluid it is moving through. An example could be stirring a thick liquid like honey, where the resistance increases as the speed of stirring increases.
How could you decrease the friction?
Friction is decreased by means of lubrication.
What is a source of error in a work and energy experiment?
One source of error in a work and energy experiment could be friction between surfaces, which may result in some of the energy being converted into heat and lost. Another source of error could be measurement errors in recording the distances or forces involved in the experiment. Additionally, neglecting air resistance or other external forces can lead to inaccuracies in the calculated work and energy values.
Does a smooth surface reduce friction?
Yes, a smooth surface reduces friction because there are fewer microscopic irregularities that can create friction between surfaces. This results in less resistance when two objects slide or move against each other.
How does friction affect the movement of a scooter?
there could be friction inside the motor. there is friction on the wheels of the scooter and the ground. there is air friction when you move on a scooter.
Can the actual mechanical advantage of a machine ever be greater then its ideal mechanical advantage?
In real machines, there is always friction that reduces the efficiency of the machine.This reduces the mechanical advantage because some of the input force has to be used to overcome the force of friction in the machine.To reduce friction in the machine, you could add a lubricant such as oil.

Could you give pascal's law experiment?

Why is friction is so important?
without friction you could be able to stay in one position
