yes. friction is the action of one object's molecules hittings another objects molecules and creating an opposite force to slow the objects that are in motion down

What part of a bicycle is a useful friction?

The brakes! And the tires (no friction = no traction).


Does brakes on a bicycle have a lot of friction or not much and is it useful or not useful?

Brakes are meant to have a lot of friction and it's useful.


Why do bicycles have brakes?

Brakes help a bicycle to stop, of course --- but do you know why? it's because brakes use friction. When you squeeze the brakes, rubber blocks press against the wheels. The friction between the blocks and the wheels slow your bicycle down.


Parts of a bicycle where friction can be maximised?

The brakes and the tire treads.


Why do car brakes get hot they are new brakes?

Because brakes create friction, and heat is a byproduct of friction.


Where do you find friction in brakes of a bicycle brake?

A bicycle has high friction at the brakes, first and foremost. Then at places where the rider holds on to the bike, Grips and pedals. Between tires and road.


What is the force that makes you bicycle brakes work?

The force that makes bicycle brakes work is friction. When the brake pads press against the wheel rim or disc, friction is created, which slows down the rotation of the wheel and ultimately stops the bike.


Which is the best example of friction A. Applying brakes on a bicycle to slow downB. Getting wind in a cell to move forwardC. Putting gas in a car to driveD. Falling apples from a tree to the ground?

applying brakes on a bicycle to slow down. that's friction because when you apply the brakes, the tires of the bicycle slide on the road causing friction on the road from your tires to slow you down faster


What mechanical motion principle do the brakes in a car or on a bicycle use?

The brakes in a car or bicycle use the mechanical motion principle of friction to slow down or stop the vehicle. When the brake is applied, friction is generated between the brake pads and the rotor (for disc brakes) or the wheel rim (for rim brakes), converting kinetic energy into heat and bringing the vehicle to a stop.


When you put on the brakes of a bicycle friction causes some of the mechanical energy of the brakes to change to thermal energy?

When you apply the brakes on a bicycle, friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim converts some mechanical energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by friction. This heat dissipates into the surrounding environment.


What is the force that can stop a bicycle when the rider applies the brakes?

Friction is the force that stops the bike.


How brakes stop a bicycle?

By creating friction between a moving part and a stationary part.
