For the most part yes, but the car depending on the aerodynamics of the design can resist most of it.

How does friction help a car slow down?

Friction is suppose to slow down things and yes it can. HOW DOES: both 2 surfaces collide with each other, causing heat. Heat will slow down the object by "meeting" with the 2 surfaces. I hope I helped :)

No. Friction is useful every time there is a change to how the car is moving. Getting it moving, getting it to turn as well as getting it to slow down.

In that case, the car will slow down due both to gravity pulling it backward, and to friction forces.


Can speed affect friction force?

Actually, friction does depend on velocity. If you stop your car you have to ease up on the brakes as you slow down because friction increases as you slow down. This effect has been observed for objects travelling at bullet velocities. Friction decrease as speed increases.
