Five examples of surfaces that have very little friction between them?

There are several examples of surfaces that have little friction between them. They are water against a boat, crude oil in water, ball bearings, roller bearings, and graphite.


State laws of friction?

Static friction: the force that resists the initial movement of an object at rest. Kinetic friction: the force that opposes the motion of an object already in motion. The coefficient of friction: a constant that measures the friction between two surfaces.


What are five facts that can be found on how friction affects the motion of a car?

Friction between the tires and the road surface helps the car accelerate and decelerate. Friction can cause wear and tear on the tires, affecting their lifespan. Higher friction can improve the car's grip on the road, enhancing stability and control. Friction between brake pads and rotors is essential for stopping the car efficiently. Reduced friction, such as on icy roads, can lead to skidding and loss of control.

What are five examples that illustrate mechanical energy being converted to thermal energy?

Friction between moving parts in a machine can convert mechanical energy into thermal energy. When brakes are applied in a moving vehicle, mechanical energy is converted to thermal energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels. The act of rubbing your hands together generates heat by converting mechanical energy into thermal energy. Electric heaters convert electrical energy (which is ultimately derived from mechanical energy in power plants) into thermal energy, which in turn heats up a room. When a ball bounces repeatedly on the ground, mechanical energy is gradually dissipated as thermal energy due to internal friction within the ball and between the ball and the ground.
