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.

To stop severe bleeding of the arm which pressure-point artery should you press on?
To stop bleeding of the arm press on the brachial artery.
What if brakes are not building up pressure to stop?
You have air in the lines and they need to be bled out.
Which pressure point point artery should you press on to stop severe bleeding of the arm?
To stop bleeding of the arm press on the brachial artery.
What is the function of the brake?
Brake shoes are an integral part of the braking system of a motor vehicle. When a driver steps on the brake, the brake shoe is the mechanical part that he or she is ultimately controlling to bring the car to a stop. The backing of a brake shoe is a metal part, but the area that actually comes in contact with the brake is padded to provide friction to stop the car without damaging the brake itself. Brake shoes are found inside of drum brakes; disc brakes have calipers, which serve the same function in a slightly different way.

What is the significance of brakes in vehicles?
they stop the vehicle when you press the brake pedal so you dont kill yourself
How do you start your Chrysler with out a key?

Why do you convert sliding friction into rolling friction?
because you pump your brakes to stop a vehicle

Why do bicycles have brakes?
Brakes help a bicycle to stop, of course --- but do you know why? it's because brakes use friction. When you squeeze the brakes, rubber blocks press against the wheels. The friction between the blocks and the wheels slow your bicycle down.
Do the brakes on a bicycle need to stop?
THe brakes rarely need to stop. But the brakes can be used to make the bike stop.
What do drum brakes do?
Looks kinda like a big steal cereal bowl behind the tire. The brakes press outwards (from the inside) creating enough friction to stop or slow the vehicle. Disc brakes look kinda like a shiney ring. The brakes press inwards on either side of the ring, creating enough friction to........you get the idea.
You press the brakes and the car is at a full stop it shakes like you could feel the vibration what does this mean?
If you mean when you are coming to a stop, and press on the brakes, you feel a vibration- this most likely means that your brake rotors are warped and need to be turned. If you mean you are already at a full stop, in idle, and you press the brake and feel a vibration- it may mean a vacuum problem in the engine or something like that. So it depends- is it your brakes vibrating, you feel it in the pedal? Or is it your engine suddenly running rough and the whole front end of the car shakes?
