Why does a concrete path produce greater friction then a lino floor?
A concrete path produces greater friction that a linoleum floor because its surface is rougher. This allows more surface area to contact an object moving along the path.
What is an independent variable in a science project?
The independent variable is the thing in the expeirment that you purposly change. If I took different sizes of paper airplanes and counducted an expieremnt to see which one went the farthest, the size of the airplanes would be the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE while the distance of flight would be the RESPNDING VARIABLE P.S- there can only be one independent variable in a controlled expierement.
Why is it easy to slip on a floor that is wet?
The puddle changes the coefficient of friction of the floor. Therefore it becomes more slippery.There are ways to control or change the COF of a floor surface with specialized floor treatments which will make the area much more safe and prevent slip and falls.
What is a vapor barrier under a wood floor?
Vapor is another word for moisture. A vapor barrier is a sheet of plastic covering the entire surface under the floor to prevent moisture from causing the floor to warp or absorb stains. You would typically use a vapor barrier in basements with concrete floors.
Can you used a steam cleaner on a vinyl floor?
yes but set it on the low or medium heat settings. If you dont have a temperature control, don't use it !
Why is surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?
Because Most Energy is EXCHANGED at the surface!
What flows from rifts in the sea floor and builds up high enough to break the oceans surface?
Lava
What is the opposite of the ocean bottom?
The opposite of bottom would be the top, so the oceans surface is the opposite of the ocean floor/bottom.
