Yes.

If there wasn't any friction the wheels would just spin w/o the car going anywhere.

What useful friction?

You need friction to slow down or turn while skiing and ice skating. Auto braking during driving. Walking or the movement of the motor vehicle depends on friction or there will not be movement.


When would you want friction to work for you?

Braking. Driving on ice.


What is a low mu surface?

This is a low coefficient of friction like driving on ice with a car versus driving on dry asphalt.


When driving on a slippery surface such as snow or ice you should?

Put some sand on it to increase friction!


When is friction an advantage?

Driving, walking, anything that requires you to push against something. If there was no friction, your tires would spin endlessly and your feet would fly out from underneath you (think of walking/driving on ice!)


Why is it hard to accelerate on ice?

You don't get the friction you need to accelerate on ice. This is why asphalt is used on roads, tyres can grip on it and the friction will create higher speeds.


How is it that Without friction between the road and the tires of a car it would be like driving on which surface?

Without friction, driving a car would be like driving on a very slippery surface, such as ice. The lack of friction would make it difficult to accelerate, brake, or steer the vehicle effectively, leading to a loss of control and unsafe driving conditions.


What has more friction road with gravel or road with ice or plain road?

A road with ice will have more friction than a road with gravel or a plain road. The presence of ice reduces the grip between tires and the road surface, resulting in decreased friction and potentially hazardous driving conditions. Gravel can also reduce friction compared to a plain road, but typically not as significantly as ice.


Is friction is a foe?

Friction can be a friend when walking and when driving a car. For example, walking or driving on ice can be very risky due to the lack of friction. Friction can be a foe when it causes more work to have to be done or excess heating. Friction is responsible for our getting blisters on our hands or feet.


What are examples of friction not being helpful?

If there is no friction like Ice has has no friction you will slip.If you are driving and the road is icy and a car is coming at you and you push your brakes you will slid and the two cars will crash.Hopefully that answered your QuestionThank You for going on Answers.


How hockey players need friction?

Hockey players depend on the ice. They sway from side to side in a constant motion which causes friction to occur between their ice skates and the rink itself.


What kind of friction is ice skate?

Ice skates experience kinetic friction when in contact with the ice. This type of friction occurs when two surfaces are sliding against each other. Kinetic friction helps provide the necessary grip for ice skating.
