friction is due to the roughness of surfaces.any process which makes the two surfaces in contact smooth can minimize friction.the methods are:

  • by polishing
  • by using ball bearing
  • by using rollers and wheels
  • by streamlining
  • by lubricating
  • by creating air cushion

What if you leave out the thermostat what will it do the car?

your engine will never warm up properly. it will decrease gas mileage. engine will not run right. just get the right thermo, and replace it.


One way to reduce friction in a car engine is to add an?

One of the ways to reduce friction in a car engine is to add an oil lubricant. The oil lubricant can be mineral or synthetic but they help the engine parts to move without too much ware. Another way would be to add an engine oil cooler.


Why does a car stop rolling if you dont press the brakes?

Wheels going over the land have rolling friction. This friction slows down a vehicle. At low speeds, this is the main reason why a car engine is needed to push a car forward. You may have heard of superconductivity. If a superconductor can be created that will work at room temperature, it will be possible to create a vehicle which will operate on tracks without rolling friction. Once set in motion, it will need very little energy to continue moving.


Why wpould you hear a whining noise from your car only when gear engaged and accelerating not while coasting etc not really any noise on deceleration either it is an automatic transmission?

Friction in the transmission system may cause whining noise when a car is accelerating. A poor engine or clutch assembly may cause the excess friction in the transmission system.


What are the Effects of driving car with no oil?

the engine will run hot and eventually it will blow on younot true.. if you have no oil in your engine it will not last long enough to overheat... the force of the pistons moving will cause so much friction, add that to the lack of lubrication and your engine will seize up and never work again...

How does a car increases and decreases friction?

To increase friction, the car goes faster so that the air resistance becomes greater. To decrease friction the car goes slower to decrease the air resistance acting on the car. Hope that helped:)


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.


How could a race car driver keep the same engine the same forcebut increase the acceleration of the car?

The driver could use different sized tires or reduce the amount of friction.


How is friction cut down in a car engine?

Friction in a car engine is reduced by using proper lubrication, such as engine oil, to create a smooth surface between moving parts. Additionally, improving the design and materials of engine components can help minimize friction. Regular maintenance and keeping the engine's parts clean can also help reduce friction.


What is good thing about electric?

The Electric car doesn't cause pollution and will decrease the amount of CO2 in the air and the amount of oil that needs to be drilled. It's cheaper to a electric car then a traditional car. It also has a quieter engine and will lower noise pollution.


When a car engine running smoothly is friction caused?

Yes. Ideally, it's fluid friction.


How does friction change how far a car goes?

Friction between the tires and the road can reduce the distance a car can travel because it creates resistance that opposes the motion of the car. The more friction there is, the more energy is needed to overcome it, which can decrease fuel efficiency and the overall distance the car can travel.


When you put oil in a car what are you protecting the engine from what force?

friction


What knid of friction works on a car as it moves?

Friction from the air or wind resistance. Rolling friction of the tires and friction within the engine, transmission, and differential.


How does friction decrease the acceleration of a car?

friction decreases the acceleration of a car by creating a greater force which pushes against the acceleration force. the friction is a force, but more of it means that whatever is pushing against it ( acceleration in this case) is made smaller.


How does a car accelerate speed?

A car accelerates when the engine produces more power than what is needed to overcome friction. The car reaches its maximum speed (on the level) when all the engine power is being used to overcome friction.
