To see how the no-slip condition arises, and how the no-slip condition and the fluid viscosity lead to frictional stresses, we can examine the conditions at a solid surface on a molecular scale. When ...
The results reported below suggest that in a study of the mechanism of frictional electrification, quantitative measurements may be of doubtful value, because a similar leakage is apt to take ...
Methods A testing apparatus was constructed to measure the peak torque generated during a controlled rotation of the foot. Six parameters that could potentially influence the frictional forces, were ...
Energy is 'lost' or not used effectively when frictional forces occur. For example, when a bike applies its brakes and slows down the kinetic energy of the bike is transformed into heat energy in ...
Typhoon Julian (Krathon) is still expected to hit Taiwan, which is within the Philippine Area of Responsibility, but PAGASA now says the typhoon may 'move erratically' after landfall ...
Julian” (international name: Krathon) has weakened into a typhoon as it continues to move slowly northeastward towards the southwestern coast of Taiwan, the state weather bureau said. PAGASA in a 5 a.
