How does friction on the road affect a moving vehicle?
friction on the road can be al life or death situation. when there is a loss in friction or stickiness in tires it could result in cause understeeer or oversteer. if you not a drift racer then these would be bad things. wet conditions can create a loss in friction and can cause you to hydroplane. that's when your car is no longer riding on the road surface instead it is riding on the water. this can lead to all sorts of pproblems like inablity to stop or steer.
Why wouldn't you want to reduce the friction involved in using a winding road?
Because if there is less friction, the road would be very slippery, therefore more dangerous
Coefficient of friction of road and tire?
Coefficient of friction on raod and a tire varies depending on the condition of the road and tyre Wet Road: 0.4 Dry Road: 0.7 This is the average coeffecient for these conditions again it can vary
How friction affects the efficiency of a car?
Everything a car does is to over come friction. When the engine runs, it has to move against all the parts rubbing together inside. When it rolls down the road all the bearings, gears, tire and such cause friction. When it moves through the air that is a type of friction. Anything you do to reduce the fiction levels, the less energy it uses.
Is friction always something we want reduce?
NO!You very much need to increase friction between car tires and the road surface in winter. Accumulated snow and ice can already reduce friction there to the point that stopping and steering the car becomes impossible leading to many severe and occasionally fatal accidents.Vehicle brakes also need as much friction as possible to efficiently stop the vehicle when needed.Sandpaper and other abrasives depend on friction to smooth and clean surfaces.etc.

What effect would a worn tire have on friction?
A worn tire reduces friction and tracktion, this could be dangerous in bad weather conditions., A2 A worn tyre would actually improve friction in dry conditions, because the surface area touching the road, will be greater without tread. This why racing cars use 'slicks' in dry conditions. The problems arise in wet weather. The thinnest film of water between the tyre and the road, will cause a sudden decrease in friction, 'aquaplaning'. The tread is there purely for wet conditions.

How does tire tread increase friction between tire and road?
tires are made of rubber and rubber can cause friction

Can poor road conditions cause accidents?
Of course it can.
Why wheels are circle?
A wheel is circular to reduce friction with the road surface, and to allow a vehicle to move smoothly forward.
What is the function of a tire?
To reduce rolling friction and yet, provide friction laterally, to keep the car on the road. They have to be soft enough to even out bumps in the road and yet, inflated enough to give a good footprint for grip round corners and braking.
How much does friction from pavement style or conditions on the road affect gas mileage?
Not much unless you decide to peel rubber.
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
