What else can I help you with?
What causes road wear?
umm the road, friction between your tires and the roads surface.
How does friction make friction?
when 2 surfaces rube or slide together the more smooth the less friction
Why the maglev train is much quieter and uses less energy?
No contact with the ground (thus less friction).
Why longitudinal grooves on bridges?
The grooves or "tining" placed on concrete bridge decks (surfaces) are created for for automobile tire traction when it rains and to help direct the water runoff. Typically the grooves are created in the transverse direction across the direction of automobile travel. More recently longitudinal grooves have gained favor because there is less noise generated when tires follow longitudinal grooves when compared to more noise generated when tires cross transverse grooves.
A 200-kg car rounds a circular turn of radius 20 m If the road is flat and the coefficient of the friction between tires and road is 70 how fast can the car go without skidding?
define skidding.... 30mph.
Which tires produce less friction?
Narrower tires with harder rubber
When a cars tires are stuck in snow or mud is it better to have more less friction and why?
It is better to have less friction because it will be easier to get out.
What are the benefits of radial tires?
Compared to previous versions of tires, radial tires have less rolling friction or less friction with the road while in motion. The result of this is that the tires are generally quieter when driving on the road than the previous version and also allow for better fuel economy.
Why do bicycle tires generate less friction than car tires?
smaller cross-section of tread in contact with road
Using the ideas about friction and deceleration explain using a new tire than badly worn tires?
New tires actually have less friction on dry surface than old, bald tires, but once the old tires hit water, you new tires quickly win.
When a car's tires are stuck in snow or mud is it better to have more or less friction?
More
How does friction on tires effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
When a vehicle hydroplanes its tires?
When a vehicle hydroplanes, the friction the tires are against is something other than the roadway - typically, it's a layer of water between the tires and the roadway. As the water has much less resistance and friction than asphalt, the tires spin much more freely.
What types of friction occur when you ride a bike over cement?
When riding a bike over cement, two main types of friction are present: static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction prevents the tires from slipping when you start moving or when you come to a stop. Once in motion, kinetic friction acts between the bike tires and the cement surface, opposing the bike's motion and affecting speed and control. Additionally, rolling friction occurs as the tires roll over the surface, which is generally less than kinetic friction.
Why does f1 cars need to change their tires so often?
so that less friction is caused, and to improve speed
Are wider car tires better than narrow car tires?
Yes if you want better road holding. No if you want less friction and better fuel economy.
Why is it easy to push a car on a smooth road than on a rough road?
It is easier to push a car on a smooth road because there is less friction between the tires and the road. On a rough road, the uneven surface creates more friction, making it harder to push the car. Smooth surfaces allow the tires to roll more easily, requiring less force to move the car.
