What does is mean to reduce something?
reduce something is to make the amount of something smaller. For example you can reduce your electric bill by unplugging the refrigerator.
Is to reduce by one tenth?
To reduce a number by 1/10, you could use it as a percentage 10%. Example 250 reduced by 1/10 = 250 x 10% = 25
Why is it important to reduce coefficient in a balanced equation to the lowest possible whole number?
It is not always important. In chemistry, for example, you would never reduce C2H2 (acytelene) and C6H6 (benzene) to CH.
What is fractions that reduce to the same number?
They are equivalent fractions as for example 9/12 can be reduced to 3/4
The speed of ball increases as it rolls down an inclinem What happens to its speed on a smooth horizontal surface?
It's speed will reduce to to friction by gravity.
What happens on density of gas if some particles are removed from it?
That depends on the experimental conditions.In a situation of constant pressure, the density will also be constant.In a situation of constant volume, reducing the amount of gas will reduce both pressure and density.
Does divergence help to maintain surface lows?
Yes, divergence at the surface helps to maintain surface lows by allowing air to rise and reduce pressure. Divergence leads to air spreading out, creating a region of lower pressure at the surface, which can help intensify and maintain surface lows.
How the inverse relationship between pressure and area is used in daily life when are is increased?
The inverse relationship between pressure and area is used in daily life in activities such as lying on a bed of nails, where the weight of a person is distributed over a larger area to reduce pressure and prevent injury. Increasing the area in contact with a surface allows for the pressure to be spread out, which can make the situation more comfortable or safe.
How does low air pressure in bicycle tires reduce the efficiency of the bicycle?
Flabby tyres produce more friction with the road.Less air pressure creates more surface friction, the less surface friction there is the better. (Example look at the very skinny narrow tyres on road racers as they don't need a lot of surface friction while mountain bikes have thick tyres as they need more friction)
What is a example of Pervious Surface?
An example of a pervious surface is grass in a park. It allows water to infiltrate into the ground instead of running off, helping to recharge groundwater and reduce stormwater runoff.
How can you get water to boil at 50 degrees Celsius?
By decreasing the pressure or using impure water.
What is pressure gauge and how much pressure it can reduce?
A pressure gauge simply measures and visibly indicates pressure in a system . It does not reduce the pressure. For that you need a PRV (pressure reduction valve ).
How do the large feet of a polar bear act to reduce the pressure on ice?
it will spread it out across the large surface area therefore decreasing it. hope that helps! :)
How can you reduce friction of a surface?
By lubricating it or adding oil to the surface.
What types of materials are used to reduce surface tension?
Surfactants, which are usually amphiphilic molecules, are used to reduce surface tension.
What is sprayed on surface water to reduce evaporation?
An oil reduce evaporation.
