Is the erosion of soil by wind an example of friction?
No, the erosion of soil by wind is not an example of friction. It is a process where soil particles are detached and transported by the force of wind. Friction, on the other hand, is a force that resists the motion of surfaces sliding against each other.
What is the name of the force that resist motion?
Friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. It opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion between the surfaces.
What causes the most injuries during an earthquake?
The most common causes of injuries during an earthquake are falling debris, buildings collapsing, and people being struck by objects. Other sources of injuries can include broken glass, furniture toppling over, and tripping or falling while trying to evacuate.
What causes a marble to roll?
Because of the force of friction pushing against the ball. The only way it could avoid that is if it wasn't rubbing against the ground and was instead closing floating in air, like the puck in air hockey. The air blowing up on it keeps the puck and the table from rubbing against each other and causing friction. :)
What are cattle mounds found in Congaree swamp?
Cattle mound #6, Brady's cattle mound, and Big lake cattle mound. No, let's get it correct. Cattle Mounds were raised areas or mounds built to allow livestock to climb to higher ground during floods. Three cattle mounds found in the Congaree National Swap include the Cooner's Cattle Mound, Big Lake Cattle Mound, and the Cook's Lake Cattle Mound.
What keeps the plates from sliding past each other?
Friction.
Do free falling objects have friction?
To be very technical and precise, the answer consists of two parts: 1). No. 2). Outside of laboratory conditions, there can be no free-falling objects on Earth. "Free falling" means that there is no other force on the object except the gravitational one, so there's no friction acting on it. But this situation is impossible on Earth, because anything that falls is falling through air, so it does have friction acting on it ... called "air resistance" ... and it's not free falling.
What type of friction keeps your shoes from slipping on the floor?
Static friction keeps your shoes from slipping on the floor. This type of friction occurs when two objects are not moving relative to each other. Static friction creates a grip between the floor and the shoes, preventing slipping.
Sitting in a chair is an example of what friction?
Static friction, as the force that keeps you in place while sitting in the chair is static, meaning the objects are not moving relative to each other.
What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
The force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk is static friction. Static friction acts when two surfaces are in contact with each other but not moving relative to one another. Once you start moving, the force of kinetic friction takes over to oppose the motion.
What is the force that keeps two objects that are touching sliding past each other?
The force that keeps two objects from sliding past each other when they are in contact is called friction. Friction is a resisting force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. It is caused by the microscopic roughness of the surfaces coming into contact with each other.
What is the direction of air resistance on a falling object ?
Just like any other source of friction, air resistance effectively results in a force opposite to the object's motion. If the object is falling, then the force is upward.
How do you protect a falling egg from friction?
By making sure that there are no objects for it to bump into when it falls. Friction happens when two surfaces slide against each other (hence making sure no other objects are in the way)- "air" does not count as a surface, hence this answer does not relate to "air resistance" in any way.
What keeps leaning tower from falling?
because they have led ingots counter waits and still ropes fixed to pull it the other way
Can Friction occur in a vacuum?
Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.
What made Cahokia different from other mound builder towns?
Cohokia was larger than the other mound builder towns.
What is the force that atcs in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object?
The force that acts in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object is called friction. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, resisting the motion of the object. It can be kinetic friction if the object is already in motion, or static friction if the object is at rest.
