What is rolling friction and sliding friction?
I assume this relates to a wheel. When the wheel is rolling, the surface of the wheel is not moving relative to the surface of the road when they are in contact. however, the wheel deforms slightly and because of this, the normal force slightly opposing the motion of the wheel rather than simply pushing it up. This is rolling friction or more commonly known as static friction. When the wheel is sliding, the wheel is sliding over the road's surface, meaning that there is relative movement between the wheel and the road. this is known as sliding friction or kinetic friction.
True or false if you slide a bag of groceries along a countertop you must first overcome rolling friction?
False. When sliding a bag of groceries, you are overcoming sliding friction, not rolling friction. Rolling friction occurs when a round object like a wheel rolls along a surface.
Are gears an example of rolling friction?
Gears are not perfect example for rolling friction. Most energy lost in gear operation is due to the surface shear stress, which is more like sliding friction. Rolling friction is due to the pressure induced torque applied on the roll axis. Under this circumstance, the equivalent pressure force doesn't point to the roll axis, which creates a torque to resist the rolling motion. A good example for rolling friction can be a running wheel of the car.
The fifth wheel lockin lever is not locked after the jaws have closed around the king pin. this means what?
If the fifth wheel lock-in lever is not locked after the jaws have closed around the kingpin, it means that the fifth wheel coupling is not securely latched. This can lead to the trailer becoming detached from the truck during transit, posing a serious safety risk. It is important to address this issue immediately before attempting to tow the trailer.
How does the concept of rolling without slipping apply to the motion of a wheel on a surface?
When a wheel rolls without slipping, the point of contact between the wheel and the surface is stationary. This means that the wheel rotates and moves forward at the same time, without sliding or skidding. This concept is important in understanding how a wheel moves efficiently and smoothly on a surface.
How do you adjustment on the fifth wheel on a volvo truck?
You have to have a trailer attached to do this. Lower the landing gear to the ground to take pressure off the fifth wheel. DO NOT RELEASE THE TRAILER KING PIN. Go into the cab. To the right of the instrument panel, you'll see the switch for the fifth wheel slide. Unlock the fifth wheel. Pull backwards or forwards (whichever direction you're moving the fifth wheel). When you get it to where you want it, lock the fifth wheel. Pull forward or backwards slightly to ensure the fifth wheel is locked in place.
How do you magnify in Windows 7?
If you have a wheel-mouse, the easy way is to hold down the CTRL key, and slide the wheel away from you - this increases the size of everything on the screen. Sliding the wheel towards you has the reverse effect.
Short of a reload what can be done if the trailer is overweight in the tail?
If you can slide your tandems back without going past the 41' bridge limit (or 40' limit for loads in or going to California), and you have room to add weight to your drive tires, sliding your tandems back will transfer weight from your trailer axles to your drive axles. You can also side your fifth wheel back (if so equipped with a sliding fifth wheel) to transfer weight from your steer axle to your drive axle, or forward to transfer weight from your drive axles to your steer axle.

When your car slides on ice do you turn into or out of the slide?
Turn into the slide by steering in the direction that the rear of the car is sliding. This helps to regain control and straighten out the vehicle. Avoid overcompensating by jerking the steering wheel or hitting the brakes suddenly.

What is the math formula for transferring weights on axles of a semi and trailer?
Math formula? If you have a sliding fifth wheel and sliding tandems, then you move them as needed to get yourself legal... moving trailer tandems forwards takes weight off of the drive axles and transfers it to the trailer axles... moving trailer tandems back takes weight off the trailer axles and transfers it to the drive axles. Sliding a fifth wheel to the rear takes weight off your steer axle and transfers it to the drive axles... sliding a fifth wheel to the front takes weight off of your drive axles and transfers it to the steer axle. If you can't manipulate your weight this way, and be within bridge formula, then you either have it reloaded/have something taken off of the load, or you dodge the scalehouses and hope that you don't run into portable scales.
What does the saying a third wheel mean?
It's fifth wheel, and it means not needed or not wanted, as in a fifth wheel on an automobile.
How is a trailer attached to a tractor?
Depends on what type of tractor and trailer you had in mind. For a farm tractor pulling a trailer, it's usually a pintle on the tractor which is run through a clevice on the trailer. For road going vehicles, the fifth wheel trailers are often used, where a trailer kingpin will be inserted and locked into a fifth wheel on the vehicle. In the case of an 18 wheeler, air lines will connect from the tractor to the trailer to operate the trailer's air brake system.

False. When sliding a bag of groceries, you are overcoming sliding friction, not rolling friction. Rolling friction occurs when a round object like a wheel rolls along a surface.
