friction

But friction is a function of the force pressing the particles together.

Without this friction on a flat surface there would be no way to make a turn at all.

The more friction, the more strength against shearing.

If too much moondust rains down, friction heats the atmosphere – possibly boiling the oceans.

Friction piles spread out the load of the building vertically, allowing much more of the underlying soils to be used to support the structure without becoming overwhelmed.

So microwaves heat food molecules mechanically, through friction— but they don't alter them chemically.

In previous episodes, we covered a lot of friction between the U.S. government and Native American peoples.

The pullout force is resisted by the friction between the soil and anchor.

For a vehicle, this centripetal force comes from the friction between the tires and the road.

I just think the inevitable friction of being a child and, you know, growing into yourself and being a defiant person, it, like, can be turbulent.

The only reason a soil mass has any strength at all is because of the friction between those particles.

It’s often said that a civil engineer’s only concerns are gravity and friction.

The hydraulic grade line slopes downward along pipes as the fluid loses energy to friction.

Once the concrete cures, the tension will remain inside, transferring a compressive stress to the concrete through friction with the reinforcement.

As all that stolen matter circles towards the black hole, like water going down a drain, friction heats it up to temperatures high enough to shine 500,000 times brighter than our Sun!

Piles not only transfer loads at the bottom , but they can also be supported along their length through a phenomenon called skin friction.

When I hit the brake petal, the regen number actually goes up so that means they're adding regen before planning in the friction brakes.

The Millennium Tower’s foundation consists of a 10-foot or 3-meter-thick concrete slab supported by 950 concrete friction piles driven into the subsurface to a depth of about 80 feet or 24 meters.

Rather than being held together by molecular bonding like steel or by a binder like the cement in concrete, their strength almost completely depends on internal friction between the soil particles themselves.

A black hole emits energy in a bunch of ways, but the most likely source we’d capture is heat from friction… created by all the debris swirling around the black hole in its massive accretion disk.

Removal took a much more extensive operation of dredging the sand from around the hull and lightening the ship by releasing ballast water, both to relieve the friction from the soil.
