Where do you find friction in a car?

There is a lot of friction associated with vehicles. A biggie is friction with air, to which the term drag is applied. There is friction in all the moving parts in the power train through the engine, the transmission and the differential. That friction also extends out the axles to the wheels, and it is particularly evident where the rubber meets the road. That covers most of it.

What is a Friction on car example?

A common example of friction in a car is the friction between the brake pads and the rotors when you press the brake pedal to stop the car. This friction helps convert the car's kinetic energy into heat, slowing down the car.


If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?

The reaction force to the friction acting on the car is the friction force acting on the road. It acts on the car in the opposite direction to the friction force acting on the car.


Does friction reduce or increase when a car is moving?

Friction is de opposition of motion. if a car is in motion, the friction is said to be reduced because it oppose de movement of the car.


Does a car run because of the frition or reaction force from the ground is the friction static friction or kinetic friction?

No. the car runs by how much gas you have and how much power your car engine has.


What part of a moving car experiences the most friction?

The tires of a moving car experience the most friction with the road. This friction is necessary for the car to accelerate, decelerate, and make turns.


How does friction help the movement of a car?

friction helps the movement of the car by allowing it to move easily and smoothly. -------------- Friction between the tires and the road propels the car forward and steer it. Friction in the brakes helps control the motion.


Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?

Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.


How does the use of car brakes reduce friction?

When car brakes are applied, they create friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This friction slows down the wheels, reducing the car's speed.
