How frictions problems are solved?
Friction is useful when I want to stand up (trying to stand on a frictionless surface is difficult, and dangerous), but more friction is a problem when I am ice skating. Friction with my car tires is useful when I am driving on a road (especially if I want to stay on the road around a curve, or want to speed up or slow down), but more friction on the moving parts of the engine is a problem.
Describe 3 examples where low friction is not useful?
Friction is very useful but it has its own disadvantages. Friction causes wear and tear. Friction spoils the soles of our shoes. friction reduces speed This is all wrong some not useful types of friction are are when airplanes fly the friction causes heat that materials that will withstand which are costly.
Do rubber tyres show more friction or less friction?
Rubber will have a high coefficient of friction on most surfaces, but we cannot know whether there is more or less friction unless we have something to compare it to.
When Is Friction Useful and When Is Friction Not Useful?
Friction is useful when you are trying to stop a car, but not useful in the pistons of a car's engine (It makes them less efficient).
Is friction useful when walking down an icy street?
It's useful
How friction can be both helpful and unhelpful?
On a car, friction is useful on the tyres and brakes. It is not required for the parts that rotate.
How friction is useful in brakes?
it is useful as because of the interlocking between irregularities present in the tyres and the road it stops the car
Ways friction is useful?
Enables cars to move, rather than just spin tyres and go nowhere.
When is friction useful?
Friction Is Useful For Lots Of Things Like Walking Or Riding a Bike
Where is friction in cycling?
the friction is between the tyres of cycle and the road surface. Without friction movement is impossible.

When is friction desirable?
Friction is desirable on your tyres and brakes. Tyres need to grip the road, to push the car forward, stop and go round corners. Brakes need friction to stop the wheels turning.
What are the useful and harmful effect of friction?
Useful effect of friction - automotive clutch , friction material on adjacent plates help give grip the other plate connected to drive shaft , hence allowing the friction to slowly bring the drive shaft up to speed , otherwise the motor would just stall. Or to give useful grip to tyres on the road. Harmful effect of friction - makes bearing harder to turn since friction holds on to surface between the bearing and the bearings outer surface
Which parts of a bike use friction?
The brakes use friction to stop the bike and the tyres use friction to grip the road.
How does low air pressure in bicycle tires reduce the efficiency of the bicycle?
Flabby tyres produce more friction with the road.Less air pressure creates more surface friction, the less surface friction there is the better. (Example look at the very skinny narrow tyres on road racers as they don't need a lot of surface friction while mountain bikes have thick tyres as they need more friction)
Why rubber is used for car tyres?
because of good friction.....
How does friction effect a car in motion?
Friction can have many effects on a moving car. It depends on the situation under discussion. If the tyres are brand new, more friction will be experienced as the grooves of the tyres will interlock with the surface of the road. But when the tyres are wearing away, their surface becomes relatively smooth. Friction will not have as great an effect. If the road is layered with snow, friction will be minimal and the car will move with great velocity . . . uncontrollably. This is why a car skids on an icy road. Where friction prevents a fast driver to reveal his real potential on the highway, it also helps him apply brakes. It is friction which assists the tyres to stop moving .
