1. Identify each of the following statements as either true or false. If false‚ explain why. (a) Viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. (b) Although important‚ fluids are not essential to many living things. (c) A meniscus forms when water particles adhere to the sides of their container. (d) Buoyancy‚ like water pressure‚ acts in all directions. 2. Describe the relationship between mass‚ volume‚ and density of matter. 3. Use the particle theory to explain the differences between

Friction Page 1 Lab: Friction William Morris Leo Hayes High School Friction Page 2 Purpose: To investigate the coefficient of friction for a given surface and the effects that factors such as weight‚ surface area and changes to the surface have on the coefficient of friction. Hypothesis: The smaller the amount of normal force (weight)‚ the less friction created and the least surface area and the greaser the surface the less friction is created. With

CLASSES OF PIPES Water supply is the process of general requirement for supply of water from public water supply system to individual building and subsequent distribution of water to various parts of the building. The water from public water supply system to individual buildings is supplied through pipes. A large proportion of capital is invested on pipes while designing water supply distribution system. The following factors should be considered in selection of pipes. * Strength of pipe

Coefficients of Friction Discussion: Friction is the force that resists motion and can be determined in either static situations or kinetic situations using the following equation: [pic] Static friction is the amount of friction that resists the start of motion and kinetic friction resists an object’s continued motion. The coefficient of friction depends on a number of factors including surface area and the types of surfaces in contact. The only way to determine a coefficient of friction is experimentally

Coefficient of Friction- Post Lab Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to determine to coefficient of friction on a block sliding across a horizontal plane‚ and on the same block sliding down an inclined plane. This was done by first testing block‚ and how much weight on a string was needed to move the block at a constant velocity using a pulley system. The block weighed 0.2385 kilograms‚ and needed a hanging mass of 0.05 kg to move at a constant velocity. This means the coefficient of

Premium Mass Friction Force
Friction Friction – It is an opposing force that acts between surfaces in contact moving with respect to each other. It always opposes relative motion between two surfaces. Cause of friction - Friction is cause by the irregularities on the two surfaces in contact. We are able to walk because of the force of friction Nature of surfaces – Smooth surfaces: less friction‚ Rough surfaces: greater friction How hard an object is pressed – Greater pressing force: Greater friction Mass of object
