How is motion affected by friction and how does the law of conservation apply to this?
Friction is a general term applied to the force on something that is applied to it by something that it is moving on or through. If a car is moving along the highway, there is friction between the road and the tires. There is also friction in the wheel bearings. (Lubrication helps limit this.) The friction, the forces between the two things that are moving, appears as heat energy. And by the law of conservation of energy, if something is moving across something else, there will be a bit of energy lost due to friction, but it will have to be conserved - it will have to appear somewhere else because it can't just "disappear" without being accounted for. Friction energy is conserved (law of conservation of energy) and heat results. If someone is doing a project that involves using an abrasive on a material, someone might be sanding wood or metal (or another material). The sandpaper and the material being sanded will get warm as sanding continues. The friction created between the abrasive and the material appears as heat. The energy is conserved; it cannot be lost nor can it simply disappear. Links follow.
How does friction affect the law of inertia?
Friction has no effect whatsoever on the law. But if friction is present, then the law can't be demonstrated, because the moving object always has an external force acting on it.
Is burning of meteor in space due to friction?
Meteors do not burn in space. They burn when they dive throughEarth's atmosphere, because of friction with it.
How does an object move on a rough and on a smooth surface?
It is on smooth surfaces because the amount of friction is less.
What is a rolling friction?
Rolling friction is the resistance encountered by an object when it rolls over a surface. It is typically less than sliding friction because the object's shape allows for smoother movement. Rolling friction occurs between the object and the surface it is rolling on.
Why do properly cut gems glow brightly?
Because they're from pure material
Why do materials have different coefficient of friction?
Different materials have different coefficients of friction because the materials have different microscopic bumps and valleys which cause the friction to begin with. Coefficients of friction are constant for each material.
How does material affect friction?
The type of material affects friction because different materials have different surface textures and properties that can either increase or decrease the amount of friction between two surfaces in contact. Rougher materials typically create more friction, while smoother materials create less friction.
Is there any friction on the sun?
There is no friction on the Sun in the traditional sense because friction occurs when two objects rub against each other. The Sun is a giant ball of plasma with no solid surface, so there is no material for friction to occur.
What types of materials can cause friction?
Any type of material has friction because everything has microscopic hills and valleys; some materials have more friction because the materials hills and valleys are larger than other materials.
Why are health care costs spiraling up in the US?
because they're not canada
Why is titanium suitable as airframe material for supersonic aircraft?
Titanium is light strong and will not burn-down because of the over heating that is caused because of friction.
Why does Rigel star shine as brightly as Betelgeuse star?
It shines as brightly because of the distance it has from earth and it has to do with how old the star is.
What is the effect of temperature on friction?
As the temperature increases, friction generally decreases because heat generated can reduce the force required to overcome the friction between surfaces. However, extremely high temperatures can lead to increased friction due to changes in the material properties or the formation of oxides on the surfaces.
Why are rubber bath mats useful with friction?
Rubber bath mats are useful with friction because they have a lot of friction and can stop you from slipping because of all the friction it produces. - thank you to this website for the answers :)
What kind of friction occurs when an object rolls over?
Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls over a surface. This type of friction is generally less than static or kinetic friction because the object's point of contact with the surface changes continuously as it rolls. Rolling friction is affected by the smoothness of the surface and the shape and material of the rolling object.
Does clay have more friction than sandpaper?
Yes, clay does have more friction than sandpaper. This is because, clay is a much heavier object/material then sandpaper, therefore if you were to drag a lump of clay on the floor and measured the friction, it would be higher then the amount of friction caused by sandpaper. If the amount of force needed to pull the clay is larger then the amount of force needed to pull the sandpaper, that means that there is a much larger amount of friction present, because the more friction there is present, the harder you would need to pull. Hope this helps.
