Why do slippery fluids such as oil reduce sliding friction?
We can reduce friction by oiling ("lubricating") the surfaces. This means that the surfaces no longer rub directly on each other, but slide past on a layer of oil. It's now much easier to move them.
What might happen to very vicious oil on a very cold morning?
Very viscous oil on a very cold morning may thicken and become even more difficult to flow. This can make it challenging for the oil to properly lubricate moving parts, leading to potential engine damage or failure due to increased friction. It is important to use oil with the appropriate viscosity rating for cold temperatures.
Why does oil remove rust?
It does not. It simply reduces some of its impacts. When iron or steel rusts the surface becomes rougher, which increases friction and prevents moving parts from working as they should. The oil provides lubrication, which decreases friction and restores normal function.
When did Kuwaiti oil fires happen?
Kuwaiti oil fires happened in 1991.
Why are parts of machines that slide over each often bathed in oil?
Because if there is no oil then there wouldn't be enough friction for it to slide past each other.
What does a bit of oil reduce in science?
Oil is used to reduce friction.
Motor oil is used as a lubricant and replaces sliding friction to create which type of friction?
fluid frictionMotor oil replaces sliding friction with fluid friction.Motor oil is used as a lubricant and replaces the sliding friction to create a type of friction known as fluid friction.
How does oil reduce air friction?
Oil is mainly used to reduce friction between contacting surface, e.g., metal on metal - not to reduce air friction.
What will happen to friction if the road is wet?
The friction will go down drastically.
Does oil increases friction?
No.
What type of friction is created when motor oil is used as a lubricant and replaces sliding friction?
When motor oil is used as a lubricant, it creates a layer of fluid friction between the moving parts, reducing sliding friction. This type of friction is known as fluid friction or hydrodynamic friction, as the oil forms a film that helps to separate and cushion the contacting surfaces, allowing them to slide smoothly.
What would happen if there was more friction?
If friction is more it leads to unwanted things
What causes it to burn oil?
Friction
Does car oil increase friction?
No.
How do you reduce the friction in a machine?
Oil it
The kind of friction that exists between oil and a door hinge?
The friction between oil and a door hinge is called fluid friction. The oil acts as a lubricant, reducing the resistance between the door hinge parts as they move against each other. This type of friction allows for smoother movement of the hinge.
How can friction in car engines be minimised?
oil
