1.Summarize the formation of friction ridge skin and how it relates to the permanence of fingerprints. The skin over most of our bodies is fairly smooth. ’Friction Ridges ’‚ however‚ are found on the digits‚ palms and soles. They are called ’friction ’ ridges because of their biological function that helps us grasp and hold onto objects. Sometimes compared to fine lines found in corduroy‚ unlike corduroy‚ ridges vary in length and width‚ branch off‚ end suddenly and‚ for the most part‚ flow with

It is accurate that the Twenties was a decade of friction and conflict between the values of urban and rural America. Traditional‚ rural Americans were conservative‚ and as a result feared change advocated by the new urban Americans who brought forth new attitudes and ideas. Both clashed on the lines of immigration‚ politics‚ religion‚ and women’s rights. In an analysis of the 1920s‚ William‚ E. Leuchtenburg wrote the Perils of Prosperity and in it stated that there were different two Americas at

Gravity and friction are two forces that work together to allow life as we know it on earth. They are balanced forces. There is no movement without first overcoming friction‚ which is why a heavier object falls faster due to gravity than a lighter object. A heavy object is not resisted by air friction‚ while a very light object is (which causes it to fall more slowly). 3 advantages of friction: 1.)it is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction. When we move on

A friction free economy is a hypothetical business environment where all expenses and limitations connected with transactions are non-existent. For my research‚ I found two articles. Using the CSUF library search engine‚ I found an article titled “The Friction-Free Economy” written by John Case‚ and “Friction-Free Economy Rhetoric Holds a Time Bomb” written by Gary Chapman. I decided to use these two articles because they were written around the same time‚ and both have the same concept involving

flywheel‚ a friction disc called the “clutch plate” and a pressure plate. When the engine is running and the flywheel is rotating‚ the pressure plate also rotates as the pressure plate is attached to the flywheel. The friction disc is located between the two. When the driver has pushed down the clutch pedal the clutch is released. This action forces the pressure plate to move away from the friction disc. There are now air gaps between the flywheel and the friction disc‚ and between the friction disc

energy as the mouse-trap car begins to move. But there is friction and in order to overcome friction you have to do more work. Friction converts energy into heat and sound which takes away energy from your motion‚ causing the car to stop as its energy is turned into other forms. When designing a mousetrap car‚ there are two variables that truly determine the overall performance: friction and energy. If my mousetrap car has too much friction‚ the energy in the spring will be turned too quickly and

FRICTION Problem 507 The 2225-N block shown in Fig. P-507 is in contact with 45° incline. The coefficient of static friction is 0.25. Compute the value of the horizontal force P necessary to (a) just start the block up the incline or (b) just prevent motion down the incline. (c) If P = 1780 N‚ what is the amount and direction of the friction force? Solution 507 Part (a) – Force P to just start the block to move up the incline The force P is pushing the block up the incline. The push

Introduction. Friction was studied in this lab. The experiments were conducted using a clipboard glued to various surfaces with diffirentiating frictional properties. In order for us to test the varying Static friction or Kinetic friction we used a Newton force gauge‚ some wooden blocks‚ and a metal weight. The actual experiment consisted of two parts. The first part measured the net force‚ or more specific the net force required to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient‚ to move the block across
