What is the mathematical equation for friction?
An important formula is that friction = (coefficient of friction) x (normal force).
How is friction good and bad?
Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.
How does friction affect shoes?
Low friction is slippery high friction has good traction. In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).
How can friction be positive and negative?
Friction can be negative or positive depending on the direction in which your measures are positive.
What is the metric unit for friction?
A friction is a force, so it would be measured in newtons. The coefficient of friction, on the other hand, is a ratio between two forces, so it is dimensionless.
How will an object move that is pulled with the least amount of force?
Neglecting friction, its speed will grow with the least acceleration. Considering friction, it may not move at all.
Why is the coefficient of discharge of a venturimeter calculated?
A discharge coefficient is used to account for inaccuracies resulting from assuming plug flow and neglecting friction in the Bernoulli equation.
A large heavy truck and a small baby carriage roll down a hill Neglecting friction at the bottom of the hill the baby carriage will have a greater?
Momentum
What is the force that static friction can exert on oa object that is moving 15 kilograms west and 25 newtons is being exerted?
"Static friction" refers to objects that are NOT moving.The amount of friction depends on the so-called "coefficient of friction", which varies depending on the properties of the surfaces that are in contact.
Is there friction in a building?
There is friction nearly everywhere. Air resistance, carpet, and your shoes all produce friction. The formula for finding the force of friction is friction force equals the coefficient of friction times the cosine of the angle of the force times the mass of the object times gravity (9.80 meters/sec squared)
What is the importance of bedrock?
Bedrock is important because it is just that, rock. The term bedrock is used to descibe any type of solid rock that lies beneath the loose topsoil. It is important because bedrock is what allows buildings to have solid foundations. Bedrock is particularly important to big buildings since the topsoil often cannot support the weight of the building and unless the foundation are dug down to bedrock the building would actually sink in the ground. In some areas, such southern Louisiana, the bedrock is so deep that it cannot be reached, in these cases the buildings rely on what are called friction pillings. Friction pillings are long poles or columns that are driven so deep into the ground that although they're not resting on bedrock the force of friction from the surrounding dirt prevents them from moving. I believe this is the technique that was used to build the new football stadiumin New Orleans.
How does friction help?
If there was no friction the vehicles would never stop, we couldn't write on the board as friction makes chalk writing visible. Without friction no building could be constructed, the vehicles on the road would never move. Friction helps a lot in many ways and is a necessary in our life.
Neglecting air resistance and friction if a large block of ice and a small block of ice start sliding down an incline together the heavier block will get to the bottom of the incline when?
At the same time as the other peice of ice.
Does a rectangular prism slide?
It will depend on the friction. A building brick - approximately a rectangular prism - does not slide easily.
What considerations must engine designers take into account when building a fast-moving vehicle?
Gravity, velocity, and friction?
The property of matter that resists change in motion?
That is called inertia. Inertia is directly related to mass, so it can be expressed in kilograms.
How do you think the egyptians might have reduced friction when they were building those pyramids?
Round logs, spherical boulders, and so forth.
