There are a number of ways to reduce friction:

Make the surfaces smoother. Rough surfaces produce more friction and smooth surfaces reduce friction. Some swimmers wear suits to reduce underwater resistance. These suits mimic the smooth skin of sharks.

Lubrication is another way to make a surface smoother. A lubricant is a slippery substance designed to reduce the friction between surfaces. You might use oil to stop a door from squeaking - the oil reduces the friction in the hinge. Water can be used as a lubricant - think of how a floor becomes slippery after it has been mopped.

Make the object more streamlined. A streamline shape is one that allows air or water to flow around it easily, offering the least resistance. Compare a boxy old car with a new car that has a rounded shape, allowing it to move with less effort.

Reduce the forces acting on the surfaces. The stronger the forces acting on the surfaces, the higher the friction, so reducing the forces would reduce the friction. If you apply the handbrake when you try to drive a car, the car will have a lot of difficulty moving because of the force immobilising (stopping the movement of) the wheels. If you release the handbrake, the wheels will move more freely because there is no extra force acting on them.

Reduce the contact between the surfaces. Have you ever tried to roll a cube? Spheres are the best shape for reducing friction because very little of a spherical object is in contact with the other surface. Several types of wheels, such as skateboard wheels, contain small spheres called ball bearings to reduce the friction between the moving parts. You can witness the effect of ball bearings by comparing the friction between sliding a book on a table and then doing the same, but using marbles between the book and the surface of the table. Notice how the marbles act as ball bearings, reducing the friction.

Reproductive cells are created by _____. mitosis meiosis cytokinesis
Alex787 [66]
The correct answer is meiosis. Meiosis is a process where a cell divides into two where these cells contain half of the genetic information from the original cell. Meiosis produces daughter cells containing 50% information from the mother and 50% from the father.

What is the partial pressure of C?<br> atm C
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The partial pressure of carbon is 45 mm Hg.

Explanation:

  • The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is referred as the amount of carbon dioxide present in venous or arterial blood. It acts as a ventilation in the lungs.
  • There is a formula for measuring partial pressure . As we know total pressure means summation of the pressure of all the gases included .
  • To find partial pressure we need- total pressure* fraction of mole of that gas. The partial pressure of CO2 is more because it carries deoxygenated blood from the whole body towards the lungs.

What is the purpose of the stairstep pattern on the periodic table of the elements?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: The bold staircase in the periodic table allows us to classify which elements are metalloids.

Explanation: Additionally, it acts like a "divider" that allows us to properly distinguish the metals from the non-metals in the periodic table.
