Study Notes
Friction Reduction Methods
- Sprinkling boric acid powder on a carrom board reduces friction by providing a smooth, lubricating surface for the pieces to move on.
- Polishing two objects in contact helps reduce friction by removing surface roughness and allowing them to slide smoothly against each other.
- Ball bearings are used in machines to reduce friction by providing a smooth, rolling motion instead of sliding friction.
- Ball bearings and rollers are effective in reducing friction because they minimize the contact area and allow for easy rolling motion, reducing the force required to move objects.
- Powders, such as boric acid, sprinkled on a surface reduce friction by providing a layer of lubrication, allowing objects to move smoothly with less resistance.
