Tribología y Lubricación Industrial

What is tribology?

• The study of plant and animal life in their natural habitats.

• The study of interacting surfaces in relative motion, including friction, wear, and lubrication.

• The study of ancient civilizations and their artifacts.

• The study of celestial bodies and their movements.

Which of the following is not a type of lubricant?

• silicone

• grease

• water

• oil

What is the purpose of lubricants?

• To increase friction and promote wear and tear.

• To make surfaces stick together.

• To reduce friction and prevent wear and tear.

• To clean and remove dirt from surfaces.

What is friction?

• Force that causes motion

• Force that supports motion

• Force that has no effect on motion

• Force that opposes motion
