What types of friction occur when you ride a bike through a puddle?
Fluid Friction, & Rolling Friction.
Why is riding a bike rolling friction?
Because the portion of tire touching the ground is not moving relative to the ground.
Which are 5 activities that require friction?
riding a bike walking siting down riding a roller coaster sledding skiing grating food pretty much anything
which type of friction forces are the strongest and the weakest?
sliding frictionrolling frictionstatic frictionfluid friction
What type of friction is there?
1) Static Friction: When it's hard to move an object (i.e.: moving a large refrigerator box is difficult because of the large mass pressing down and the static friction between the box and the floor)2) Sliding Friction: Tiny friction particles in between objects that slow them down (i.e.: moving a cafeteria tray in the lunchline--there's a little bit of friction between the tray and the metal bar, which causes the tray to move slowly)3) Rolling Friction: The friction between wheels (or anything rolling) and the ground. (i.e.: riding a bike. Without rolling friction, we would speed out of control. Walking would also be impossible because our feet collide with the pavement and gently roll off. With no friction, we'd be slipping and sliding everywhere! =D)
What forces are acting when you are riding and then thrown from your bike?
The forces acting on the bike is gravity, air resistance and friction.
What three forces do you exert while riding a bike?
applied, normal, and friction
What force do you have to overcome when riding a bike?
Friction - several different kinds - and inertia. If riding uphill, also gravity.

Name 2 ways that friction is helpful when riding your bike?
Friction lets the drive wheel push you forward, and allows your brakes some bite. Friction make it possible to hold on to the bars. Friction lets you steer.

If you were riding a bike where would you need a lot of friction?
Between ground and tires and between brake pads and moving surface.

What types of friction occur while you ride a bike through a puddle?
You would experience fluid friction and rolling friction, and since you are not likely to be completely submerged, air resistance.

How can friction be bad when riding a bike?
Yes, it will prevent you from gaining or maintaining speed without putting in more effort (energy). But it will help you to stop quicker.
