An Indian burn that was given as children is an example of increased friction upon the epidermis. Your epidermis is merely another more scientific name for your skin. Friction upon your epidermis can result in a friction induced burn if given the appropriate amount of time or pressure. I can provide a very in depth and scientific answer if you need more specifics. However, in short I believe you are looking for a general area of skin being exposed to high friction yes? Under normal circumstances this produces a slight surface injury to your skin very similar to a sunburn and crossed with a bruise. You will be able to break the capillaries within the skin if you provide enough pressure, or if you were to specifically increase repeating velocity it would produce more of a burn like effect which would grow increasingly worse as time elapses or a moderate amount of pressure is added while increasing speed so as to produce less bruising and more of a burn effect the speed of object being applied to skin must be increased as well.

Now the body does have some areas in which certain amounts of friction will feel much better than others... generally speaking low levels of friction applied anywhere on the epidermis will feel fairly good... place too much and that's when it gets bad... but certain areas such as the genital area feel much better when stimulated by friction. but too much even there will cause pain and irrattation and given enough it too will result in a burn.

What happens to friction when normal reaction is increased 2 times?

The friction will also double as Friction= (friction coefficient)(normal reaction)


How friction increased?

With increased surface areas in contact, friction increases.


What results when friction causes the dermis and epidermis to separate?

When friction causes the dermis and epidermis to separate, a condition called a friction blister can occur. This separation creates a space that fills with fluid, leading to a raised, fluid-filled bubble on the skin. It is important to protect the area from further friction to promote healing.


What happens to the kinetic friction force as the mass is increased?

The kinetic friction force remains constant regardless of the mass of the object. It is determined by the nature of the surfaces in contact and is independent of weight.


What happens to friction if the weight of an object is increased?

If the weight of an object is increased, the friction between the object and the surface it's resting on also increases. This is because the force pressing the object against the surface is greater, resulting in more resistance to motion.


How can friction be increased?

There are different ways through which helpful friction be increased. The easiest way is using coarser or rougher surface to increase resistance.


Extra layer of epidermis on feet is called what?

The extra layer of epidermis on the feet is called the stratum lucidum, which is a translucent layer of dead skin cells that helps to protect the skin from friction and pressure.


How can friction be increased in a given situation?

Friction can be increased in a given situation by increasing the roughness of the surfaces in contact, increasing the force pressing the surfaces together, or by using materials with higher coefficients of friction.


If there is more friction what happens to a moving object?

If there is more friction, the moving object will experience more resistance, causing it to slow down or require more force to maintain its speed. This can lead to increased heat generation due to the energy lost to friction.

In what ways friction can be increased?

Friction can be increased by increasing the roughness of the surfaces in contact, increasing the force pressing the surfaces together, or using materials with higher coefficients of friction. Additionally, increasing the surface area in contact can also increase friction.


Which structures of the dermis give rise to friction edges or fingerprints?

Friction ridges or fingerprints are formed by the patterns of raised skin ridges in the papillary layer of the dermis. These ridges are made up of dermal papillae, which project into the epidermis and create unique patterns that form fingerprints.
