How is rolling friction caused?
How is rolling friction caused
Is friction caused by gravity?
No, friction is caused by the electrostatic attractions between atoms on contacting surfaces and physical surface irregularities. Gravity has no effect on friction.
What causes more friction?
If an object is moving on the same surface the friction is the same throughout. However, more friction is caused by a rougher surface and less friction is caused by smoother surfaces.
Is static electricity caused by friction?
It is! To create static electricity you need friction.
What causes sliding friction?
Sliding friction is caused by the microscopic roughness of two suraces.
Why do car brakes get hot they are new brakes?
Because brakes create friction, and heat is a byproduct of friction.
How is rolling friction caused?
How is rolling friction caused
Is current electricity caused by friction?
no only static electricity is caused by friction.
What are oil characteristics?
a liquid that is able to reduce friction plus it can be recycled and it is also a fossil fuel byproduct
What is friction stress?
stress caused due to friction
Is friction caused by gravity?
No, friction is caused by the electrostatic attractions between atoms on contacting surfaces and physical surface irregularities. Gravity has no effect on friction.
What causes more friction?
If an object is moving on the same surface the friction is the same throughout. However, more friction is caused by a rougher surface and less friction is caused by smoother surfaces.
What causes friction in satic electricity?
There is no friction IN static electricity. However static electricity can be caused BY friction.
What can be caused by friction?
Static electricity.
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
Is static electricity caused by friction?
It is! To create static electricity you need friction.
Is sliding friction greater than rolling friction?
Typically not. However rolling friction is somewhat of a myth. Rolling friction is actually caused by static friction. There are really only two types of friction: Static and Kinetic. That's it! Rolling friction is caused by static friction and the coefficient of friction (which determines its strength) is dependent upon the two materials of interaction.
