Friction stops the vehicle it like when you rub your hands together, but more like 150 pounds of pressure depending on what type of brakes you have, also it can cause heat, heat is created also from friction among other things, some brake pads if get too hot to quickly will crystallize, when this happens they will be very smooth like glass and will not create friction to stop the vehicle as well. there are 3 types of brakes witch both have pros and cons.

1. The first kind of brake pads are metallic, these brakes are usually more expensive but have longer life, and do not crystallize

2. The second semi-metallic these brake pads will not crystallize as quickly and and are less money then metallic brake pads but do not last as long as full metallic brakes.

3. The cheapest brakes are organic brakes, these do not last as long as the semi metallic, and are most likely to crystallize but they are cheap and get the job done if you need brakes and are low on cash.

Why is friction necessary for brakes?

Because friction acts against an object in motion causing it to slow down. Brakes does the same thing.

How does the use of car brakes reduce friction?

When car brakes are applied, they create friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This friction slows down the wheels, reducing the car's speed.


Do car brakes reduce friction?

No, car brakes actually increase friction in order to slow down or stop the vehicle. When the brakes are applied, they create friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy that dissipates, causing the vehicle to slow down.


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.
