LIGHT BY FRICTION
Here comes my observation, a matchstick can produce heat by rubbing, and the heat will automatically
create a light.
But then, there is something that I realized, there was a force that is exerted on the matchstick. And the
question is, what kind of force is this?
Come to think of it, heat was produce by simple rubbing and this is what we called frictions. Frictional
force or simple friction is the force that resists the movement of one object over another object
resulting in heat.
Another example for this is when you are cold, and try to rub your palm. It can produce heat, and also
when we are walking of course, without friction, we cannot maintain our balance. We have the
tendency to slide when we are trying to walk.
To sum it up without friction there would be a chaotic world. Because friction is the producer of heat
that will led to light.
