What is a flat-bottomed sledge called starting with t?
Toboggan is the word you are looking for. A toboggan is a simple sledge (or sled). It has no runners or skis on the underside and is just used on snow.
Is friction helpful to runners on a sledge?
Friction is actually not helpful to runners on a sledge, as it can slow down the motion of the sledge. To make the sledge move faster or smoother, reducing friction between the runners and the surface they are sliding on would be more beneficial. Lubricants or smoother surfaces can help decrease friction and improve the performance of runners on a sledge.
When was A Man Called Sledge created?
A Man Called Sledge was created in 1970.
What is the duration of A Man Called Sledge?
The duration of A Man Called Sledge is 1.55 hours.
What is a sledge called?
a binlid
What is a racing sledge called with nine letters?
bobsleigh
What helped move pyramid stones?
The inclined plane in the form of a ramp. A sledge with narrow runners which reduced friction. Friction was further reduced by pouring a lubricant such as water or oil under the runners. The motive force was the brute force of thousands of naked slave labourers.
What is a heavy duty hammer called?
A 'maul' or a 'sledge hammer'.
Confederate ships that broke through the North's line of defense were called?
D. Blockade Runners!
What happens when you are sledging down a snowy slope and you run into a grass path What would happen to the speed of the sledge and why?
The coefficient of friction for sledge runners on grass is much higher than on ice, so there will be a large and sudden increase in the retarding force. The deceleration will be this force divided by the total mass. If the rider doesn't hang on he/she will tend to continue at the latest velocity (ie thrown forward off the sledge).
