Where is friction in cycling?

the friction is between the tyres of cycle and the road surface. Without friction movement is impossible.


When is friction desirable?

Friction is desirable on your tyres and brakes. Tyres need to grip the road, to push the car forward, stop and go round corners. Brakes need friction to stop the wheels turning.


How does low air pressure in bicycle tires reduce the efficiency of the bicycle?

Flabby tyres produce more friction with the road.Less air pressure creates more surface friction, the less surface friction there is the better. (Example look at the very skinny narrow tyres on road racers as they don't need a lot of surface friction while mountain bikes have thick tyres as they need more friction)


Why rubber is used for car tyres?

because of good friction.....


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 .


How friction can be both helpful and unhelpful?

On a car, friction is useful on the tyres and brakes. It is not required for the parts that rotate.
