How can you increase the magnitude of friction between two surfaces ? How can you decrease the magnitude of friction

Physics

Mice21 [21]3 years ago

The frictional force between two surfaces is given by:
F_f = \mu F_p
where
\mu is the coefficienct of friction
F_p is the force with which one surface is pushed against the other one

Looking at the formula, we see that there are two possible ways to increase the friction:
1) by increasing the coefficient of friction \mu (for instance, by making the surfaces more "rough"
2) by increasing F_p, the force  with which one surface is pushed against the other

Similarly, in order to decrease the friction, the two possible ways are:
1) by reducing the coefficient of friction
2) by reducing the force F_p

Line segment Q R , Line segment R S and Line segment S Q are midsegments of Î"WXY. Triangle R Q S is inside triangle X Y W. Poin
Whitepunk [10]

The perimeter of ΔWXY is : ( D ) 14.5 cm

<u>Calculating the </u><u>perimeter </u><u>of ΔWXY</u>

QR = WY / 2

RS = XW / 2

QS = XY / 2

Given that : QR = 2.93 cm ,  RS = 2.04 cm,  QS = 2.28 cm

Therefore

Perimeter of ΔWXY = ∑ WY + XW + XY  

                                 = 2SR + 2QS + 2QR

                                 = 2(2.04) + 2(2.28) + 2(2.93)

                                 = 14.5 cm

Hence we can conclude that the perimeter of ΔWXY = 14.5 cm

What is tue cause of upthrust ?​
Brut [27]

it's caused by a pressure that is large on the button of an object that it is on the top of an object submerged in a liquid.

Explanation:

This is why object appear to weigh less when immersed in a liquid. If the upthrust is greater than the weight of the object, the object will rise up through the liquid.
