Why do slippery fluids such as oil reduce sliding friction

1 answer:

6 0

fluid friction occurs when an object moves through a liquid or gas. the force needed to overcome fluid friction is usually less then that needed to overcome sliding friction. the fluid keeps the surface from making direct contact and thus reducing friction.

3. Take sugar, oil, corn syrup, a glass and water. Pour the water in the glass and then add each of the above the substances one

hoa [83]

Here are the observations

Sugar:-

Sugar is soluble in water
so It will dissolve in water .

Corn syrup:-

Corn syrup is also basically a sugar.
It will dissolve in water too .
If we shake the mixture in glass then corn syrup will be dissolved.

Oil:-

Oil is not soluble in water
Hence it won't dissolve in water.
It will float over water and make two layers

1. How would you expect an instantaneous acceleration vs. time graph to look for a cart moving with a constant

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=0 v = v₀ + a t

a=0 line is horizontal

Explanation:

1, In a graph of acceleration vs. time, we have lines, when the line is horizontal it is zero, when the line has a positive slope the increasing accelerations and when the slope is negative the decreasing acceleration

2, speed and relationship of a car is given by

v = v₀ + a t

where vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and tel time

in this case I will calcograph velocity vs. time the constant acceleration is a straight line.

In general from the graph we can find the initial velocity with the cut at that x and the acceleration of the car with the slope

Imagine two fixed charges on the x axis. Charge one is +q and is located to the left of charge two which is equal to -4q. Where

givi [52]

Answer: B)To the left of the charges.

Explanation: between the charges the electric field will not cancel but will be added since electric field lines from both charges point in the same direction. To the right of the charge the -4q will take over as it’s strength overcomes the strength of the +q charge. At this point the magnitude of +q will never reach a magnitude strong enough to cancel the -4q. To the left, it is further away from -4q and is closer to +q and electric field lines point in different direction
