Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Girl Power : Sustainability, Empowerment, and Justice
Power. Gender. Sustainability. This Element harnesses powerful new data about gender and sustainability, presents inspiring stories of empowerment, and introduces a framework for building empowerment muscles.First, from a pioneering global survey, it unveils three shocking truths about young women's empowerment.It also compiles significant data on systemic gender disempowerment intersecting environmental degradation, violence, and exclusion, as well as profound societal impact if girls and women were fully empowered.Second, from climate activist Greta Thunberg to the all girl Afghan robotics team, the #NeverAgain movement against gun violence, and the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, today's empowered girls are a transformative force for change.Each modeling a distinct skill - an empowerment muscle - seven case studies present empowerment muscles of focus, solidarity, hope, courage, advocacy, endurance, and healing.Third, unlike most works using empowerment nebulously, this Element concretizes empowerment - a set of muscles each reader can build and strengthen through 'workout' training exercises.

Why is sliding friction undesirable in technology, while static friction is acceptable?
Sliding friction is undesirable in technology because it creates wear and tear on surfaces, leading to the need for frequent maintenance and replacement of parts. This can increase costs and reduce the lifespan of equipment. On the other hand, static friction is acceptable because it allows objects to stay in place without slipping, providing stability and preventing movement when it is not desired. This can be beneficial in various technological applications, such as keeping components in place within a machine or preventing objects from sliding on a surface.
-
What is static friction, kinetic friction, and rolling friction?
Static friction is the force that resists the initial motion of an object at rest. It is the friction force that must be overcome to start an object moving. Kinetic friction, on the other hand, is the force that opposes the motion of an object that is already in motion. Rolling friction is the force that resists the motion of a rolling object, such as a wheel or a ball, as it moves across a surface. It is generally lower than static and kinetic friction because the rolling motion reduces the amount of surface area in contact with the object, thus reducing the friction force.
-
What are good examples of static friction, sliding friction, and rolling friction?
Good examples of static friction include a heavy box sitting on the floor that requires a lot of force to start moving, or a car tire on a road that is not moving. Sliding friction can be seen when you push a book across a table, or when you slide down a slide at the playground. Rolling friction is evident when a ball rolls across the ground, or when a car is in motion and its tires are rolling on the road.

What is static friction and kinetic friction?
Static friction is the force that resists the initial motion of an object at rest. It is the frictional force that must be overcome in order to start an object moving. Kinetic friction, on the other hand, is the force that resists the motion of an object already in motion. It is the frictional force that opposes the movement of an object as it slides or rolls over a surface. Both types of friction are caused by the interactions between the surfaces of the object and the surface it is in contact with.

Energy's Digital Future : Harnessing Innovation for American Resilience and National Security
Disruptive digital technologies are poised to reshape world energy markets.A new wave of industrial innovation, driven by the convergence of automation, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics, is remaking energy and transportation systems in ways that could someday end the age of oil.What are the consequences—not only for the environment and for daily life but also for geopolitics and the international order?Amy Myers Jaffe provides an expert look at the promises and challenges of the future of energy, highlighting what the United States needs to do to maintain its global influence in a post-oil era.She surveys new advances coming to market in on-demand travel services, automation, logistics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and 3-D printing and explores how this rapid pace of innovation is altering international security dynamics in fundamental ways.As the United States vacillates politically about its energy trajectory, China is proactively striving to become the global frontrunner in a full-scale global energy transformation.In order to maintain its leadership role, Jaffe argues, the United States must embrace the digital revolution and foster American achievement.Bringing together analyses of technological innovation, energy policy, and geopolitics, Energy’s Digital Future gives indispensable insight into the path the United States will need to pursue to ensure its lasting economic competitiveness and national security in a new energy age.

Why is rolling friction smaller than sliding friction?
Rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction because when an object is rolling, only a small portion of its surface is in contact with the ground at any given time. This reduces the amount of friction generated compared to when an object is sliding, where the entire surface is in contact with the ground. Additionally, the rolling motion allows for smoother movement, resulting in less resistance and friction. Lastly, rolling friction also involves less deformation of the surfaces in contact, further reducing the frictional force.

What is better: friction paste or friction spray?
The choice between friction paste and friction spray depends on personal preference and the specific application. Friction paste is typically more durable and longer-lasting, making it better for heavy-duty or long-term use. On the other hand, friction spray is easier to apply and can be more convenient for quick or temporary fixes. Ultimately, the best option will depend on the specific needs and preferences of the user.
-
Why is static friction stronger than kinetic friction?
Static friction is stronger than kinetic friction because when an object is at rest, the microscopic rough surfaces of the two objects in contact have more time to interlock and create a stronger bond, requiring more force to overcome. Once the object starts moving, the surfaces are in motion and the interlocking is broken more easily, resulting in less resistance. This difference in interlocking and bonding between the surfaces is what causes static friction to be stronger than kinetic friction.
-
What is the difference between static friction, kinetic friction, and rolling friction in physics?
Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and is being acted upon by an external force. Kinetic friction, on the other hand, occurs when an object is in motion and is being acted upon by an external force. Rolling friction is the force that resists the motion of a rolling object, such as a wheel or a ball. The main difference between these types of friction is the state of motion of the object and the type of force being applied.
