Delving into history books, we can learn that already thousands of years ago the Egyptians realized that lubricants like water and oil helped reduce the friction of sledges that moved the heavy stones ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Friction is a force that exists when two surfaces rub up against each other. For example, this cup on ...

Friction represents obstacles to change. Most people try to push through friction instead of reducing it.

Friction causes the economy enormous losses - but without friction, absolutely nothing would work: the cost of machine parts rubbing against each other as a result of wear, for instance, is estimated ...

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...

Science presenter Jon Chase explains friction. He describes how friction opposes or prevents motion, and demonstrates the force in action with an experiment involving two interleaved books. Students ...
