Across
- 7. Some material of this element is able to be "near-frictionless" with a coefficient of friction of 0.001
- 8. This technique for prosthetic development closely monitors grip of the hand and makes adjustments to the force of the mechanical arm
- 9. Used in crash tests to collect data and accurately simulate a person
- 11. This 'zone' on cars helps reduce injuries in accidents
- 12. This occurs when a driver is moving too fast on a wet road
- 14. This type of gas is the product of the reaction in an airbag
- 15. If you brake, this system will keep you safe
- 16. Don't forget to wear this when in a car
- 17. Material with a low coefficient of friction, used in cooking
Down
- 1. Uses computers and censors to help driver maintain control of vehicle during acceleration
- 2. This feature of a seatbelt pulls in on the belt when a crash is detected
- 3. Generally the force of friction is not affected by the amount of surface are in contact with a surface, this material is an exception to that
- 4. Running shoes aim to help athletes do this quickly
- 5. These devices allow surfaces to slide or roll across each other while reducing the force of friction
- 6. This type of 'steering' occurs when the force of friction on the front wheels of a car is not enough to prevent the car from travelling in a straight line during a turn
- 10. These trains use magnetic bearings
- 13. These provide pathways for water to pass beneath the tire as it rolls over a wet road
- 16. Leather grip's on golf clubs increase this type of friction on the players hand
