The force that rubs things away?

The force is friction.


Why is friction sometimes harmful?

Friction has a nasty habit of wearing away surfaces. It can seize up engines if there is no lupricant. It can wear away your clothing and scrape away skin if you fall off your bike. It can cause a burn if when you hands slip while trying to hold a rope. Though friction can cause much trouble we also need it.


How does friction effect a car in motion?

Friction can have many effects on a moving car. It depends on the situation under discussion. If the tyres are brand new, more friction will be experienced as the grooves of the tyres will interlock with the surface of the road. But when the tyres are wearing away, their surface becomes relatively smooth. Friction will not have as great an effect. If the road is layered with snow, friction will be minimal and the car will move with great velocity . . . uncontrollably. This is why a car skids on an icy road. Where friction prevents a fast driver to reveal his real potential on the highway, it also helps him apply brakes. It is friction which assists the tyres to stop moving .


What can happen to electrons during friction?

the electrons move away


Name three effects that can be caused by friction?

The squeaky door sound is caused by slip - stick friction, so sound is one effect. The black powder debris near a door hinge is the ground particles from the door hing, wearing the metal away. The Brake drums on your car will generate heat as a result of the forward energy of the car being converted to heat as you brake.

Friction is what takes energy away from motion. If there was no friction, it would take a lot less energy (gas, fuel, electricity) to move things.
