Best Answer

Friction is the resistance to sliding and as a tire rolls it does resist friction, otherwise it would slide.

What would happen if there was no friction when a tire was rolling on the ground?

It would keep rolling.


Why is riding a bike rolling friction?

Because the portion of tire touching the ground is not moving relative to the ground.


What is rolling friction and what does it do?

In general rolling friction is any friction specifically related to the rolling motion. The friction on the axle to hub bearing, the tire flexing, the tire tread on the surface of the road and so on.


Does static friction or rolling friction causes a car tire to turn on the road?

static friction


Why is the friction of rolling bodies less than that of sliding bodies?

Sliding friction is the force impeding movement as a result of two surfaces rubbing against one another. Imagine pushing a cardboard box of books across a concrete garage floor. Rolling friction refers to the frictional forces between a rolling tire and the pavement. The tire gets warm and an inflated tire rolls easier. The sliding friction is much more difficult to overcome than rolling friction.


How does a car tire get worn away by friction?

The heat from the friction of the tire rolling at a high speed on the street causes the rubber to slowly burn up.


What would happen if there was no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?

no


What are Different between static friction and sliding friction and rolling friction?

Friction is a force between to surfaces that resists motion. Static friction is the resistance to motion when two surfaces are not moving relative to each other. Sliding friction is the resistance to motion when two surface are sliding, one over the other. Sliding friction is less than static friction for the same two surfaces. For rolling friction an object is rolling, like a tire on a road. It's what provides traction between the two and makes the car "go." For a tire on a road, rolling friction is less than sliding friction.


What causes a ball to stop rolling?

the friction and the motion of the ball both combined


Why does a ice-hockey puck have less friction than a ball rolling on the ground?

Ice has a much smoother surface than the surface of the ground, therefore there is less friction acting on the hockey puck compared to a ball rolling on the ground. Ice is nearly a frictionless surface.


Why is sliding friction less than static friction?

Because when an object is sliding on the other the molecules donnot get time to inter lock properly


Why does a ball rolling on the ground slow down?

Friction from the air and ground will slow down the ball's motion.
