How can you increase braking distance?
By reducing the coefficient of friction between the brakes and the wheel OR between the road and the wheels.
Friction between a wheel and a road?
Yes? This isn't much of a question but there IS friction between a wheel and the road. The friction between the tyre rubber and the road surface stops the rubber moving with respect to (wrt) the road when force is applied, allowing the vehicle itself to move. Some of the energy is dissipated as heat. During acceleration the boundary relationship represents 'inertial frame transition', and when in constant motion the wheel and bearings form the boundary between inertial frames.
What is rolling friction and sliding friction?
I assume this relates to a wheel. When the wheel is rolling, the surface of the wheel is not moving relative to the surface of the road when they are in contact. however, the wheel deforms slightly and because of this, the normal force slightly opposing the motion of the wheel rather than simply pushing it up. This is rolling friction or more commonly known as static friction. When the wheel is sliding, the wheel is sliding over the road's surface, meaning that there is relative movement between the wheel and the road. this is known as sliding friction or kinetic friction.
Why tires on a car screech when the breaks are slammed?
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.
When a car is anticipating a turn isn't the steering wheel providing the centripetal force rather than the road friction?
No steering wheel won't provide the centripetal only the friction between the tyre and road provides the necessary centripetal. Steering would simply turn the wheels of the car to the desired direction.
What is the mening of friction?
friction is that force that opposes motion. for e.g friction between the road and your shoes prevent you from falling when you walk on the road.
What kind of friction will a car skidding down an icy road show?
Sliding Friction
Why is it difficult to move a cycle with brakes on?
It is difficult to move a cycle with the brakes on because the brakes create friction between the brake pads and the wheel, which resists the motion of the wheel. This friction reduces the efficiency of pedaling and makes it harder to propel the bike forward.
What examples of friction?
Examples of friction include rubbing your hands together to generate heat, the resistance between a car's tires and the road surface that allows it to brake, and the force that opposes the motion of a sled sliding down a snow-covered hill.
Where is friction in cycling?
the friction is between the tyres of cycle and the road surface. Without friction movement is impossible.
When is friction good?
When driving because if there was no friction between the tires and the road, the vehicle would just slide of the road and crash.
