Best Answer

For something to accelerate or go faster, a force needs to be applied to it. When you walk, your shoe wants to slide on the sidewalk, but the friction from the tiny bumps on both surfaces creates resistance that prevents this, and you move forward. The sidewalk friction is actually pushing back on your shoe so you accelerate forward. Hope that helps.

How do different ramps affect the movement of a toy car?

There are 2 ways that different ramps will alter the movement of a toy car. The material of the ramp will affect the friction (grip) of the car, if the friction is more ON THE WHEELS, it will go faster. If the air friction, or resistance is greater, it will go slower. Also, the height of the 'starting end' of the ramp will make the car go faster becase momentum buils up quicker, so the car will go faster. Hope this was helpfull!


Do you want more or less fluid friction while swimming?

You want less friction. Then you will go faster.


What surfaces would make a toy car go down a ramp faster?

You will need a very smooth surface that has less friction.


Why do snow borders wax their skies?

To reduce friction, so they go faster.


Why does less friction cause cars to go faster and longer?

Friction is force that opposes an objects motion. Therefore, the less friction the object encounters, the less opposition it will have to its direction of travel. The less opposition it has, the faster it may go. Theoretically, a moving object that encounters no friction will continue to travel at a constant rate for EVER.
