Friction matches have been improved through the use of safer and more reliable materials for the match head, such as phosphorus and red phosphorus instead of white phosphorus. Safety features like child-resistant packaging and reduced toxicity in the match heads have also been introduced. Additionally, new technologies have been developed to enhance the strike-on-box design for easier ignition.

What is the example effect of desirable friction?

Very simply, desirable friction can be found on cars. Brakes are a good example. Another one is when you rub your hands together to produce heat. Striking a match is another and also uses a chemical reaction to produce a flame. All friction produces heat and many hundreds of uses have been found to utilise this heat.


If Mechanical energy that has been lost to friction has actually been destroyed true or false?

False. Mechanical energy lost to friction is not destroyed; it is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and sound. This conversion of energy accounts for the decrease in the total mechanical energy of a system when friction is present.


What happens when you light a match twice?

Lighting a match twice will not result in a second flame as the match has already been consumed during the first ignition. Once the match head has burned completely, it will not produce another flame upon subsequent attempts.


How did friction get its name?

Friction gets its name from the Latin word "frictio," which means rubbing or scraping. Friction arises when two surfaces come into contact and resist relative motion. The term has been used in physics and engineering to describe the force that opposes motion.


If the force applied to an object doesnt make the object move then no friction has been done is this true?

No, it is not true. Friction can still occur even if the object does not move. The force applied may overcome static friction but not cause the object to move due to other factors like weight or surface roughness.

What did john walker make a friction match out of?

The Very First MatchThe very first usable match was developed in 1827. The inventor of the match, John Walker, however, was not the first to discover the possibility of the match. Over a century before, in 1680, an Irish physicist named Robert Boyle covered the end of a piece of paper in phosphorus, which had been discovered in 1669, and sulfur. When he struck the match against an object the friction would start a fire. This match, however, was not consistent enough to be used or to qualify as a true invention or the first match. Therefore, John Walker did invent the first dependable friction match.(hope this helps)
