How friction reduces the efficiency of machines
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Hello,

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the same direction that the force is applied..... Friction reduces efficiency because when two surfaces slide past each other, friction resists their motion, and in real machines, some input work is always used to overcome friction.

Hope this helps!!!! Happy Holidays!!!! (:

Stells [14]

Answer:

Large crystals

Slowly

Explanation:

Recrystallization is a procedure used to purify an impure compound in a solvent. The concept used here is that the solubility of most of the solids increases with increase in temperature.

Recrystallization is also called as method of fractional crystallization.

After a recrystallization, a pure substance will ideally appear as a network of <u>large crystals</u>. If this is not the case, it may be worthwhile to reheat the flask and allow the contents to cool more <u>slowly</u>.

Explain how an atom is composed of charged particles yet can have an overall charge of zero.
Marina CMI [18]
Atoms have an overall charge of zero because the charge of the electron is canceled by a proton and a neutron has a net charge of 0.If you were to take out an electron,you will create an ion(ion is an atom with a charge).This ion will have a charge because it now has different amount of electrons and protons.
