How does friction help?
If there was no friction the vehicles would never stop, we couldn't write on the board as friction makes chalk writing visible. Without friction no building could be constructed, the vehicles on the road would never move. Friction helps a lot in many ways and is a necessary in our life.
What are the differences between useful and harmful friction?
The type of friction that benefits in some or other way like smooth running of vehicles on the road is called Useful Friction whereas other wherein it becomes a causative factor for wear and tear or damage to the object in question.
Is it due to friction that vehicles do not skid on the road?
When you drift(accelerating faster then holding, steering, and releasing the brake), the skid marks and rubber smoke will appear on the road. If you are also doing a drift race, that also happens.
How inclined plane and rough surface reduce friction?
An inclined plane reduces friction when kinetic energy is present. If the object is in motion down the ramp, then there would be gravity assisting it downwards. The normal force would decrease, as well as the friction. For rough surfaces there usually is more friction than smooth surfaces. For instance, if a car travels on an unpaved road, it travels slower due to friction. Compare that to a paved road and the car moves a lot faster.
What has more friction road with gravel or road with ice or plain road?
road
Does the spoiler of a car increase or decrease friction between the tires and the road?
The spoiler on a car is meant to create down force on the back or front of a car depending on where it's placed... Which means that yes it does increase friction but it also helps with traction at higher speeds
Why in rainy season the moving vehicles on road skid?
In rainy season, moving vehicles on the road will skid due to the loss of friction when the tires encounter water on the road.

How does tire tread increase friction between tire and road?
tires are made of rubber and rubber can cause friction
What does friction have to do with road design?
Necessary to keep the vehicles on the road in all weather. But also needs to be controlled / limited to limit fuel usage to travel it.
How could you increase friction on an icy road?
you could place salt on the icy areas to increase friction because the ice would began to melt.
Does ice on a road would increase friction?
If you are thinking about driving your car down the road, you require friction between your tires and the road to do so. This is known as kinetic friction, and in classical physics, the equation is as follows:f = mu*Nwhere mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction, N is the normal force (force acting perpendicular to the road by the road), and f is the force of friction acting parallel to the road at the point of contact with your tires.Introduce a thin layer of ice to the road and the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road drops drastically (mu in the above equation). As a result, your car cannot efficiently convert the force from your engine to a friction force between your tires and the road leading to rotational movement. Depending on the structure of the snow, it will also variably drop the coefficient of kinetic friction.This is why, if you are moving and hit a patch of ice, you may temporarily lose control because your car will be at the mercy of the surroundings and its momentum (or inertia) rather than the steering system (no friction means no response from the steering wheel). Alternatively, if the car is at rest, it will be difficult to start moving.tl;drIce or snow decrease the coefficient of static friction for a surface variably depending on structure. This will decrease the friction force between an object and the surface.
Why does air pressure in a cars tire increase after a long drive?
As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.
How can you increase braking distance?
By reducing the coefficient of friction between the brakes and the wheel OR between the road and the wheels.
How could you increase the friction on an iced covered sidewalk or icy road?
Pour sand over the ice.
What kind of problem will you face if the number of vehicles keep on increasing?
there will be an increase in the rate of road accidents.
Why does the temperature inside bicycle tires increase?
Basic physics ! Friction between the tyre and the road creates friction. This heats the trapped air within the tyre.
