What parts of a bicycle is friction necessary and what parts are not necessary?

The bearings don't need friction, but everything else does. It there wasn't any friction it'd be impossible to bolt anything together.


How friction influenced the invention of the bicycle?

Tires, grips, pedals and brakes needs to have high friction, while all rotating parts needs to have low friction.


What do we use in bicycle wheels to reduce friction?

We use ball bearings in bicycle wheels to reduce friction. Ball bearings are small, metal balls that are placed in between the moving parts of the wheel hub to help it spin smoothly and with minimal resistance. This helps improve the overall efficiency and performance of the bicycle.


Why is it important that maglev trains do not touch their track?

I'm not too sure about the advanced physics of this, but I know that it is desired for Maglev trains to not touch the track so that their speed can be maximised, and so there is no wear and tear of the track and contact. The speed would be maximised because if you don't touch the track there is no friction. Even wheels are slowed by friction so the only way to completely eliminate it is to have no friction.


Why does oil make a bicycle work better?

Oil can reduce friction between moving parts, and protect exposed metals from rust.


Where on a bicycle friction can be a nuisance?

the gears and where the axis of the wheels


What part of a bicycle is a useful friction?

The brakes! And the tires (no friction = no traction).


Where on a bicycle is friction not important?

In the bearings, where you want as little friction as possible.


Is a bicycle rolling down a hill friction?

Yes, as the bicycle rolls down the hill, there is still some friction present between the wheels and the surface of the hill. This friction helps to slow down the bicycle's descent and eventually bring it to a stop.


What are the benefits of using lithium grease on a bicycle?

Lithium grease helps reduce friction, protects against corrosion, and provides long-lasting lubrication for bicycle components, resulting in smoother operation and extended lifespan of parts.


How does bicycle friction affect the overall performance and efficiency of a bicycle?

Bicycle friction can impact the overall performance and efficiency of a bicycle by causing resistance that makes it harder to pedal. This can result in decreased speed, increased energy expenditure, and reduced overall efficiency.Reducing friction through proper maintenance and lubrication can help improve performance and efficiency.


What part of a bicycle has a small amount of friction?
