The major reason why a wet saw that is used in cutting optical crystals is constantly lubricated with oil is largely due to friction, lubrication decreases friction and minimises the increase of internal energy.

Friction is basically the coming together of two parts that rubs against each other, it causes heat and lead to  deterioration of surfaces, it can also lead to wear and tear.

Although, despite it down side, friction is desire-able in most applications

e.g the brake system of vehicles, and if not for friction, we humans cannot walk without falling

A spring of force constant 1500 Nm-l is acted
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.876 J

Explanation:

First, let’s calculate the compression of the spring from the Hooke’s law:

F=kx,

here, F=75 N is the force acted on the spring, k=1500 N⁄m is the force constant of the spring, x is the compression of the spring.

Then, we get:

x=F/k=(75 N)/(1500 N/m)=0.05 m.

Finally, we can find the potential energy stored in the spring:

PE=1/2 kx^2=1/2∙1500 N/m∙(0.05 m)^2=1.875 J.

correct my answer if it's wrong ^^

The independent variable would be the cleaning products. 

The independent variable is the variable that you can manipulate. The change in the independent variable is not affected by other variables. So in this case, the independent variable would be the cleaning product because you will be changing it.
