When is friction useful?
Friction Is Useful For Lots Of Things Like Walking Or Riding a Bike
How is friction useful when driving a car?
well friction is almost the essential component in a car. You have friction everywhere. You have friction in your engine, your brakes, your transmission, and on your tires. Friction helps you move and stop. Most cars today waste the energy made from friction but some hybrids use all of these frictions to charge their battery to start the car over and over again, or help it down the road.
What are five examples of friction being increased?
~Putting chains on truck tires in the snow ~Rubbing your hands together ~Car Brakes ~Race Cars have special tires to increase traction and friction ~When you walk it's friction that keeps you from sliding all over the place
What is the force to stop a car with your breaks?
Friction. It is friction that stops the tyres spinning. In a car, when we apply the brakes, the rubber pads on the disc brake comes in contact with the wheel. This causes friction which results in the braking of car.
Why increase friction?
You would increase friction so that you wouldn't slip, by using the brakes on your car of bike you increase friction to stop yourself. Hikers increase friction between their feet and the ground by wearing hiking shoes that grip the ground better. Tires on cars that create more friction make the car go faster, because instead of sliding, the tires grip the ground and push off.
What part of a bicycle is a useful friction?
The brakes! And the tires (no friction = no traction).

What causes brakes to grab hard when they are wet?
it is friction and when the water goes on the brakes and tires they bond together
Why do tires screech when the brakes of a car are slammed on?
The friction between the road and the tires creates and screeching sound.
Where can you find friction in a car?
In the engine, transmission, rear end, tires, brakes, etc.
Which force is acting between the tires and the road when the brakes are used?
I believe that would be friction.
How friction influenced the invention of the bicycle?
Tires, grips, pedals and brakes needs to have high friction, while all rotating parts needs to have low friction.
Why do cars have different tires on different terrains?
Friction and the way the tires grip the terrain help to explain why there are varied types of tires.
Why does car wheels get hot after driving?
Friction from the road heating the tires and transferring to the wheels and the brakes friction heating the wheel its self and/or the rims.
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

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.
