How does an automobile use friction?
Friction is a cause of lost energy and inefficiency. But it is critically important to have friction as regards automobiles. The most important use of friction by vehicles is that involving their contact with the ground. Without friction, there would be traction, which would translate into no acceleration and no control of the vehicle. Think this through and it will become clear.
What shape has the most friction and why?
You would want to maximize area of contact, and for air friction you would want to maximise the area facing the wind, or direction of motion, Either way the most friction is had from a sheet, provided it can be kept in the right orientation.
If there was no friction what would that do to mechanical advantage and how would it affect efficiency?
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
Will rolling a marble across a sweater cause friction?
Anything that comes into contact with anything else generates friction. However, most of the time, this amount of friction, and the heat it produces, is so small that it is undetectable without extremely precise instruments.
Does friction effect braking force?
Most certainly for without friction the braking system would fail no matter how much force was applied.
What type of streambed would cause the most friction. i need an answer asap?
A shallow streambed that is rough and rock.
Which force would most likely cause a car to come to stop when the brakes as applied?
Friction

Does friction affect the period of a metronome?
Friction affects most every thing. In a mechanical metronome you would not need a power source if there were no friction.

Which miterial has the most friction?
Your mom has the most friction. (:
What does COF in mechanic terms?
Most likely it would mean "coefficient of friction."

Could you ride a bike if there was no friction?
No. you would be unable to walk, jog, run or ride if it wernt for friction. one of the most powerful and fundimental forces on Earth. Friction Causes Heat and Heat Allows for grip. life would be very difficult to live without friction. Saying that, life would be no fun if there was friction everywhere... the last place you want friction is somewhere like a giant waterslide of something lol
If you had a slippery floor would adding polish create more or less friction?
Polish would most likely smooth the surface creating less friction and making it more slippery.
