How does friction make a car turn over?

Best Answer

If there was no friction between the tires and the ground, on a turn the car would

continue sliding in the direction he originally had ( like if the car was on an iced lake).

Friction between tires and ground allows the car to turn while in motion, but if the car

makes a close turn at a very high speed, if the tires have enough friction with the ground, they wont allow the car to slide, and the centrifuge force created will seem

to push the car side wise while the tires will resist originating a fulcrum point making

the car roll over.

Does static friction or rolling friction causes a car tire to turn on the road?

static friction


What objects work well because of friction?

cars work well with friction because if there was no friction and a car tried to turn it would probably slip and slide and therefore a car works pretty well with friction


Example of where you need friction?

The breaks on your car require friction to make the car stop. Friction between the souls of your shoes and the ground keeps you from sliding.


Can friction is a force that can make easier?

Friction definitely is a force that can make things easier. Stopping a car for example is made easier by friction.


Why could cars not move without friction?

When the wheels of a car turn, friction causes the wheels to push back on the road, which in turn causes the road to push the car forward. Without friction the wheels would just spin in place. You can sometimes see this occur on icy roads, where there is very little friction.


What would make your car just turn over?

no fire no fuel no compression.


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.


Why is friction important for road safety?

Friction is the force that makes it possible to stop a car - a friction between wheels and road surface is a stopping force there. Also, friction is necessary for maneuvering - if the wheels slipped, you wouldn't be able to make a turn.


How can you reduce the friction on your car?

Rub Vaseline over the bodywork


Is friction only usful for a car when it is slowing down?

No. Friction is useful every time there is a change to how the car is moving. Getting it moving, getting it to turn as well as getting it to slow down.


What causes car to slide on slick roads?

The slick roads do not provide enough friction to the wheels to turn. Thus, the car slides.


Vehicle starts to skid you should trun steering wheel?

RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR FIRST, then turn...do not apply the brakes this is because the ability for your car 2 steer is dependant on the friction between the road and tyres. if u apply the brakes u risk at locking them up. if this happens there is nearly no friction and u wont b able 2 make the turn. what u want to do is to use as much of that friction solely 2 turn the car...hence u should not use the brakes
