How can you increase braking distance?
By reducing the coefficient of friction between the brakes and the wheel OR between the road and the wheels.
The rough tread on the tires increases friction between the tire and the ground?
It does not! In fact will DEcrease contact and therefore friction. A bald or smooth tyre will be best on dry surface. The purpose of tread on tyres is to sipe away water on wet road and a rough tread would act in similar manner though far less efficiently.
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.
Why does the temperature inside bicycle tires increase?
Basic physics ! Friction between the tyre and the road creates friction. This heats the trapped air within the tyre.
Does friction increase or decrease when the vehicles are on the road?
increased because the road is rough
Why do bicycle tires generate less friction than car tires?
smaller cross-section of tread in contact with road
What effect would a worn tire have on friction?
A worn tire reduces friction and tracktion, this could be dangerous in bad weather conditions., A2 A worn tyre would actually improve friction in dry conditions, because the surface area touching the road, will be greater without tread. This why racing cars use 'slicks' in dry conditions. The problems arise in wet weather. The thinnest film of water between the tyre and the road, will cause a sudden decrease in friction, 'aquaplaning'. The tread is there purely for wet conditions.
What is the mening of friction?
friction is that force that opposes motion. for e.g friction between the road and your shoes prevent you from falling when you walk on the road.
Which wheel of vehicle will have more friction one having wider tire and one having sleek tire?
Friction or grip if it's friction i think the tyre with the most contact with the road surface. If it's grip then the one with the tread
What is a kind of friction between a wheel and the road?
It's called rolling friction.
How do cars use friction to stop?
Friction between the brake pad/lining and the rotor/drum and friction between the tyre and the road.
List and Explain 2 reasons why you might increase friction between two objects?
Car tires and the road: increasing friction will allow a car to brake faster. Shoes and the ground: increasing friction will make it less likely for you to slip.
