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

Physics

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

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C

Electric Field strength (E) = 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

U = q \times E \times d

So now insert the values to find the answer

U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m

On further solving

U = 0.027 J

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec
marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.
AysviL [449]
D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil

Which of the following is most closely related to an activated complex?
Anon25 [30]

Among the choices above, the one that is most closely related to an activated complex is the transition state. The answer is letter D. This formation forms quickly and does not stay in a way compound is. It usually forms during the enzyme – substrate reaction.
