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.

The dependent variable is plant height.

The <em>dependent variable</em> (plant height) is the <em>property that changes</em> as a result something the scientist does.

The <em>independent variable</em> is the <em>property that the scientist changes</em> systematically (the amount of CO_2) to see its effect.

The <em>number of plants</em> and the <em>types of plants</em> are <em>uncontrolled variables</em>. They may or may not affect the heights of the plants.

How plastic polymer types of compositions, surface hydrophobicity, crystallinity, porosity, size, shapes, aging or degree of wea
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.

Hi May I know what is the answer and how to get it
Trava [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

When lead ions and sulfate ions bond, they form sediment so neither a nor b can be the answer.

The important thing is that two nitrate ions were originally bonded with one lead ion, while two potassium ions bonded with a sulfate ion.

Finally, since potassium and nitrate ions don't form sediment these two ions must remain. Therefore the answer is D

What indicators of a chemical reaction occurred in the following equation?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1) evolution of gas

2) evolution of heat

Explanation:

In this reaction, glucose is broken down into its constituents; carbon dioxide and water. The question is to decipher indicators of a chemical reaction from the equation.

If we look at the equation carefully, we will notice that a gas was evolved (CO2). The evolution of a gas indicates that a chemical reaction must have taken place. Secondly, energy is given off as heat. This is another indication that a chemical reaction has taken place.
