The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
The two major factors are; friction between tires and road; friction between brake pads and rotors. Wind speed plays a small role that is usually much less of an effect than the aforementioned.
Stopping distance as in braking distance: Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point where the brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is affected by the original speed of the vehicle, the type of brake system in use, the reaction time of the driver/rider and the cefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface.
The distance needs to be further apart from the car in front
Wider tires are better for high speed bends and turns.
The friction between the asphalt on the road and the rubber tires cause a screeching sound, due to the sudden stopping of the wheel motion. The sound is caused because the tire has overcome static friction, and is now in sliding friction between it and the road.
the tires are made of rubber. when rubber gets wet, it gets slippery, which means less friction from the tires to the ground, making it easy for the car to keep going instead of stopping. also, a car is very heavy, so momentum definitely kicks in ALOT. think of it this way. car tires that are dry + dry land = alot of friction and quick stopping. but make every thing slippery and the friction goes away.
One effect of friction on an object is the ability to make an object stop when moving such as a car's tires on the road at a stop sign. One effect of gravity is the falling of objects to Earth.
The kinetic energy of the vehicle when it is travelling faster is four times as great. It the brakes apply the same retardation and the friction from the tires on the road surface is unchanged then the stopping time will be four times as long.
Studded tires are good for specifically for adverse or extreme weather. Unlike regular snow tires, studded tires have greater stopping ability and also break up ice creating friction that enables smoother and safer driving.
Friction Is Useful For Lots Of Things Like Walking Or Riding a Bike
An example using a car:Advantage: friction on car tires makes the car stop. Without friction, the car would continue without stopping (e.g. such as mass in space once given a push in one direction)Disadvantage: friction on car tires means more energy is required to propel the car forward = more gas is required for a trip.
