friction can cause:

1) Physical wear and tear of moving parts.

2) degradation of materials by continuous friction.

3) wastage of 70% of energy in car engines.

However, friction is useful in:

1) walking

2) car brakes, friction between brake pads and Tyre causes car to slow down.

3) techniques like friction welding.

Is the work done by friction always negative?

No, the work done by friction can be either positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force and the displacement of the object.


Does friction provide negative acceleration or positive acceleration?

Friction opposes motion. As long as you define the direction in which the object is moving to be positive, the acceleration due to friction will be negative. If you think about it, you start out with positive speed and friction decreases the speed, so adding friction subtracted from the speed. Note: Friction is counterintuitive when you start dealing with rolling without slipping. This answer doesn't address this.


What are the negative and positive effects of mechanical energy?

Negative effects of mechanical energy include the potential for injuries if not properly controlled or harnessed. Positive effects include the ability to perform work efficiently and power various machines that improve daily life and productivity.


Is friction negative on a free body diagram?

It depends on how the axes are defined. If the for motion in one dimension, if the positive direction is defined direction of motion, then yes, because friction opposes motion. If the motion is in two or three directions, then the force of friction is a vector and, strictly speaking, neither positive not negative. The sign (if any) of any force is arbitrary, as long as all forces in the diagram use the same frame of reference.


What does it mean to be counter-friction?

Being counter-friction means to act in opposition or resistance to friction. It involves implementing measures or strategies to counteract the negative effects of friction, such as reducing resistance or increasing efficiency.

What are the positive and negative effects of money?

Money is necessary, no one can live without a regular income, to be able to face their needs. Here is what the Bible has to say about it in 1 Timothy 6: 10 in the New Testament. "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love, some have been led astray etc...Read Hebrew 13:5. The Bible does not condemn money itself, which has practical value in this world. It is the love for it, that is dangerous and can lead to many pains. People who make it their main focus in life--bring problems on themselves, such as broken families and poor health from overwork. . What does this mean? When used wisely, it can be beneficial because it adds a measure of security. We are encouraged to be "content .... God promises that he will never leave us and will never abandon us. When we ramain content with what we have, we free ourselves from the frustration of always wanting more. We avoid unnecessary debt. Proverbs 22. 7 reads: " The rich one rules the poor. And the borrower is a slave to the lender. So we escape the dangers of gambling and pursuing get-rich-quick schemes. 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 shows that the Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for our teaching and setting thinghs straight, so that we can become fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. So using our time wisely will allow us to take time to become familiar with our heavenly Father's requirements. Matthew 4:4 reads. " Man/woman must live, not on bread ( food ) alone, but on every word that comes from Jehovah God's mouth". The benefits and the outcome is written in Psalms 37: 29 in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. We all have a credit of 24 hours per day, the rich as much as the poor. Use it wisely.
