Body oil is a lubricant, so it diminishes friction. Body powder (I'm assuming you mean the kind that "dissolves" also creates this lubricant effect, unless it's particularly rough, which creates more friction.

How the coefficient of friction between a body and a surface change if the mass of the body is doubled?

The coefficient of friction between a body and a surface does not change if the mass of the body is doubled. The coefficient of friction is a property of the material of the surfaces in contact and their interaction, not the mass of the body.


What is the coefficient of friction between a perfectly smooth body and a very rough body?

The coefficient of friction between a perfectly smooth body and a very rough body would be close to zero because a smooth body has no surface irregularities to create friction with the rough body. Friction occurs due to the interaction of surface irregularities, so if one surface is perfectly smooth, there would be minimal friction.


What are two factors affect the force of friction?

The 2 factors on which friction two body is depended uponThe mass of the body,the coefficient of Static or limiting or dynamic friction( as the case may be)Gravity too.


What is the angle of friction?

The angle of friction is the angle at which a body will start sliding on a surface. It is equal to the arctangent of the coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces in contact.


How scuffing you feet uses friction to charge your body?

When you scuff your feet on the ground, you create friction between your shoes and the surface. This friction causes the transfer of electrons between your shoes and the ground, resulting in your body becoming charged with static electricity.

What factor does the limiting value of the force of the static friction depend?

limiting friction is force of friction when a body slides over the surface of another body


When a body slides over a surface the kinetic friction and static friction related as?

Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving. Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.

What 2 factors determine the strength of the friction between 2 surfaces?

On a flat surface it would be the friction coefficient and the weigh of body.


Is body powder and foot powder the same?

Body powder and foot powder are not necessarily the same. Body powder is a general term for powders used to absorb moisture and reduce friction on the skin, while foot powder specifically targets foot odor and sweat. Foot powders often contain additional ingredients like antifungal agents to address specific foot issues. It's important to read the labels and choose the right powder for the intended use.


What is the physics behind the textureing the surface in order to reduce friction and wear of body?

Texturing involves the smoothening of the surface. As friction is caused due to the interlocking of the irregularities of the two surfaces in contact, smoothening of the surface makes sure that there are less of these 'irregularities'. The lesser the irregularities, the lesser will be the friction. The lesser the friction, the lesser the wear and tear.


How does friction affect movment?

friction opposes the force causing the body to move. fiction is the reason why you are unable push very heavy objects on normal surfaces. if an object is on a truly frictionless surface, you will be able to push it left to right, side to side regardless of how heavy it is.


What are some ways to increasing friction?

Use a surface that has a higher coefficient of static/kinetic friction and/or add more force downwards on the object.
