We can define frictions as the Resistance to the movement of one body in relation to another body with which is in contact. If we try to slide a wooden block across a table then friction acts in the opposite direction to the movement of the block.

What is an example of a non-useful friction?

Racing because friction slows you down but you need to go fast.


What wheels creates the most friction?

(Before I answer this question, I will restate it to "Which tires create the most friction?".) In racing, super soft racing tires usually create the most friction on road. They give wind to durability, but require only several turns to heat up.


How is friction helpful whilst driving a car?

There are many ways that friction is helpful while driving a car. Probably the most obvious one is the frictional force that exists between the tires and the road surface. If there was no friction, the car would not be able to move. The tires would simply spin in place. Various tire compounds will yield a different coefficient of friction dependent on the application (for example, you would want a higher coefficient of friction in racing slicks than you would need for street tires). There are areas of the car where reducing the coefficient of friction based on the specific materials used would be more helpful. For example, you would want as little friction as possible to occur between internal engine components like that between the piston rings and the cylinder wall because you want your engine to be more efficient (the engine doesn't have to work as hard to produce power if it doesn't have to work against it's own internal friction). Hope that helps!


What are the two main causes of friction?

Static friction, which is the friction that needs to be overcome to get an object moving ( different values on different surfaces ), and kinetic friction, which is the friction imparted to the object as it mover along ( different values for different surfaces ).

If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?

Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.
