Speed does not affect the force of friction.
The friction between the tires and the road surface is what prevents a car from skidding. This friction helps to maintain traction and control between the tires and the road, allowing the driver to steer and brake effectively. Factors such as tire quality, road conditions, and driving speed can all affect the amount of friction available to prevent skidding.
A bike skids on a road due to a lack of traction between the tires and the road surface. This lack of traction reduces the friction needed for the tires to maintain grip and control. Factors such as excessive speed, wet or uneven surfaces, or sudden braking can contribute to skidding.

No. The speed of the object does not affect the amount of friction between an object and the surface. Friction is affected by the types of surfaces in contact, smoother surfaces produce less friction, and the weight of the object moving horizontally affects the resistance relative to the two surfaces in contact. Greater weight causes greater resistance.
Skidding on a circular track can occur when the tires lose traction with the road surface, causing the vehicle to slide instead of following the intended path. This can happen due to factors like excessive speed, oversteering, or understeering. Skidding reduces the driver's ability to control the vehicle and increases the risk of accidents.
Increasing speed does not directly affect the coefficient of friction between two surfaces. The coefficient of friction is a property determined by the nature of the surfaces in contact and remains constant regardless of speed, as long as the other conditions (such as surface roughness and temperature) remain the same.
The two types of friction that affect a mousetrap car are rolling friction, which occurs between the wheels and the surface of the ground, and sliding friction, which occurs between the axles and the wheels. Both types of friction can reduce the overall efficiency and speed of the mousetrap car.
The vehicle would experience a decrease in speed as friction between the wheels and the road acts as a force opposing the motion. This friction would cause the vehicle to gradually slow down as energy is converted to heat. If the friction is high enough, it could even lead to skidding or loss of control.
Factors that do not contribute to friction include the speed of an object and the surface area of the object in contact with the surface. Friction is primarily influenced by the nature of the surfaces in contact and the force pressing the surfaces together. Additionally, the temperature of the surfaces and the lubrication present can also affect friction.
No, increasing speed does not directly increase friction. Friction is primarily influenced by the nature of the surfaces in contact and the force pressing them together. However, increasing speed can sometimes generate more heat due to friction, which could in turn affect the friction between surfaces.
Friction can affect an object's speed by reducing it over time, as it acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion. However, friction does not directly affect an object's velocity which is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
Friction is a force that opposes motion, so it can slow down an object and affect its speed. In the context of motion and velocity, higher friction can decrease speed, while lower friction can increase speed.
