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.

If electrons were used in the two slit experiment instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in ord
irina [24]
The change that would need to be made to the slit spacing in order to see a diffraction pattern is bending, because in understanding why light behaves like a wave, it is the interference and diffraction were the phenomena distinguish waves from particles but waves are the only one can interfere and diffract while particles do not. The light bends around obstacles or cylinder like waves do, then it is bending which cause and resulted in the single slit diffraction pattern.

IF ANSWER I WILL GIVE BRAINLESS
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Answer 9 - 100 joules energy was at the producer level

Answer 10 - Remaining energy is used in metabolism

Explanation:

Answer 9

The energy at each trophic level is only 10% of the energy at its previous trophic level.

The energy at producer level is X

10 % of X = 10 Joules

\frac{10}{100} * X = 10\\X = 100Joules

Answer 10

Because the remaining 90% energy is utilized by the producer for its metabolism

Balancee por tanteo las siguientes ecuaciones químicas. Escriba el nombre a reactantes y productos. H2O5 + H2O ---> HNO3 Na2O
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃ (pentóxido de dinitrógeno + agua ⇒ ácido nítrico)

b. Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH (óxido de sodio + agua ⇒ hidróxido de sodio)

Explanation:

Tenemos que balancear, por el método de tanteo, las siguientes ecuaciones químicas.

a. En la primera reacción, el pentóxido de dinitrógeno reacciona con agua para formar ácido nítrico. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ HNO₃

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos HNO₃ por 2.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃

b. En la segunda reacción, óxido de sodio reacciona con agua para formar hidróxido de sodio. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ NaOH

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos NaOH por 2.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH
