Which parts of a bike use friction?
The brakes use friction to stop the bike and the tyres use friction to grip the road.
What helps a bike to stop friction or gravity?
friction
Name some ways that friction can be helpful and some ways it is harmful?
Friction is helpful in situations like when you are standing on a hillside. Static friction between your shoes and the surface are stopping you from slipping. Friction is not helpful in situations like when you are pulling something heavy. Some of the energy you are putting into pulling is going into heat from kinetic friction and making your job more difficult.
What types of friction occur when you ride a bike through a puddle?
Fluid Friction, & Rolling Friction.
Is the rubber grip of a bike handlebar high friction or low friction?
it gets hot
What are two ways that friction is helpful and harmful when riding a bike?
Friction can be both harmful and helpful. Without friction the tires of the bike could not push against the ground to move forward, and the brakes would not stop the bike. However, friction can cause parts of the bike and the tires to wear down. Also, to overcome the friction between the tires and the road you need to pedal harder to go faster.friction is helpful to stop the bike when you put on the brakes but it may be harmful by slowing your speed down. and if you hit the brakes hard at a sudden moment, you could tumble or flip
Can friction be harmful and how?
Yes, friction CAN be harmful, depending on where it occurs. If you'd fall and scrub your knee, that's harmful friction. IF your shoes are chafing and yopu get a blister, that's harmful friction. In a machine, if a bearing becomes warm, that's harmful friction.

What helps a bike to stop friction or gravity?
friction
How can friction can be harmful?
friction can be harmful because if you stick 2 objects to rub against eachother for to long it will explode
What helps a bike to stop when you brake?
Friction is what ultimately stops your bike
What prevents a moving bike from coasting forever in a straight line?
Friction. Air friction, road friction and mechanical friction.

What forces are used to slowdown a bike?
friction
Where is small friction made on a bike?
In the bearings

Why is friction useful for bike brakes?
The friction is useful on a bike when you push it.
