Why increase friction?
You would increase friction so that you wouldn't slip, by using the brakes on your car of bike you increase friction to stop yourself. Hikers increase friction between their feet and the ground by wearing hiking shoes that grip the ground better. Tires on cars that create more friction make the car go faster, because instead of sliding, the tires grip the ground and push off.
How do you stop a toy car from going down a ramp?
Either decrease the slope of the ramp, increase the friction on the axels of the car, or make the tires stick to the ramp in some fashion.
What are five examples of friction being increased?
~Putting chains on truck tires in the snow ~Rubbing your hands together ~Car Brakes ~Race Cars have special tires to increase traction and friction ~When you walk it's friction that keeps you from sliding all over the place
What as an example of increasing friction intentionally?
assuming that you're asking a multiple choice question, waxing skis reduces friction so that you can move faster on the snow. grease and oil are used as lubricants. they reduce friction in most instances. throwing sand on an icy driveway would increase friction between a cars tires and the ice. a good rule of thumb is that most liquids work as lubricants, most gritty or solid stuff works to increase friction, and powder can do either.
The friction which allows a car's tires to grip the roadway?
This type of friction is called traction.
What would be an example of a helpful decrease in friction?
Deep tread added to snow tires.
Why tires have grooves on their surface?
To increase friction

Does the spoiler of a car increase or decrease friction between the tires and the road?
The spoiler on a car is meant to create down force on the back or front of a car depending on where it's placed... Which means that yes it does increase friction but it also helps with traction at higher speeds

What are found on tires of vehicles to increase friction?
Cuts, curves and gaps.
Why do we need rough on tires?
we need rough tyres to increase friction
How does tire tread increase friction between tire and road?
tires are made of rubber and rubber can cause friction
What can you do to increase friction between the tires and a race track?
The track and tires are both sprayed with a special solvent compound.
What types of tires cause a lot of friction?
I think you may mean traction? Usually the wider the tires the better. Also racing tires greatly improve cornering because of their soft compound which grabs the road better.If you meant friction... um, I would say skinny tires because it would be easier to "burn out" or lose traction, causing lots of friction.The loss of traction, when talking about cars, will increase the amount of friction and heat.
Why does air in a cars tires increase after a long drive?
As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature.
