Mechanical devices are often used in human activities. The reliability of moving parts in any mechanism is ensured by reducing friction and deformation. For this, special materials called antifriction are used. Their main purpose is to reduce the coefficient of friction, facilitating the sliding of the moving surfaces of mechanisms. This article will consider the anti-friction properties of various materials used for these purposes. Last modified: 2023-12-17 05:12

Nickel silver is a metallic alloy consisting predominantly of copper with additions of nickel and zinc.

Root pressure is a vital parameter for all plants that exist in nature. This is due to the fact that they lack the circulation of juice, in the manner of the movement of blood in the veins of animal organisms. The pressure in the roots causes the sap to move in the "body" of the plant. In this article, we will look at what root pressure means, what is its role in plant life.

In everyday life, a person constantly encounters manifestations of oscillatory motion. This is the swing of the pendulum in the clock, the vibrations of automobile springs and the entire car. Even an earthquake is nothing but vibrations of the earth's crust. High-rise buildings also sway from strong gusts of wind. Let's try to figure out how physics explains this phenomenon.
