Why do you convert sliding friction into rolling friction?
because you pump your brakes to stop a vehicle
Why is friction important in controlling your vehicle?
Friction allows the driver to slow down the vehicle when he/she applies the brakes and to put the car into a complete stop.
What cause a coasting vehicle in motion to eventually come to a stop?
FRiction

What force is used to stop a vehicle?
the friction caused by the road agianst tires
Is it true or false that The brake system uses friction to stop the vehicle?
True. Brakes use friction between the pads and rotors or shoes and drums to stop vehicles.
How does friction on tires effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
What does drum brakes and disc brakes have in common?
They employ friction to slow or stop the vehicle.
The function of a brake drum or rotor is to act as?
Friction device used to stop a moving vehicle.
What is disvantages of friction?
One disadvantage of friction is when you fall over and graze your knees on contact with the ground. One advantage is to put on your brakes and bring your vehicle safely to a stop!
How does the weight of a car effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more the vehicle weighs, the harder the brakes must work to stop it and the more distance it will need to stop the vehicle. However, large trucks can brake easier with more weight because weight adds friction which helps to stop the vehicle. This still doesn't fully compensate for the total stopping distance needed for a large vehicle. Basicly what he means is the heavier the vehicle the more friction it can create(slow it down) but it can add to the forward force iswell Or more precisely, the force of the vehicle going forward because of it's mass is still greater than the force of friction helping the vehicle slow down.
