How do ball bearings reduce friction in machinery?

Ball bearings reduce friction in machinery by presenting a minimal surface area. This is because only very small areas of each ball are in contact with the surface. Therefore,the ball bearing is indeed a very useful thing for machinery to work.


What are the names of different types of wheels?

Different types of wheels include spoked wheels, solid wheels, and alloy wheels. Spoked wheels are commonly found on bicycles and motorcycles, providing strength while reducing weight. Solid wheels are often used in industrial applications due to their durability, while alloy wheels, made from a mixture of metals, are popular in automobiles for their aesthetic appeal and performance benefits. Additionally, there are specialized wheels like caster wheels, racing wheels, and off-road wheels, each designed for specific uses.


What is the density of a hollow golf ball?

The density of a golf ball with the full contents is about .65 ounces per cubic inch. With the air inside, a golf ball will have a much smaller density, though due to the layers found in a golf ball, this will vary based on how 'hollow' the ball is made, as well as what manufacturer is used.

What method do I do used to determine the volume of a steel ball bearing?

You can determine the volume of a steel ball bearing by using the formula for the volume of a sphere, V = (4/3) * π * r^3, where r is the radius of the ball bearing. Measure the diameter of the ball bearing and divide it by 2 to calculate the radius, then plug it into the formula to find the volume.
