When you apply brakes on a bike and they rub against the wheel is that friction?

yes.


Does applying brakes on a bike cause friction?

Yes, and the heat generated is the converted momentum of slowing down.


Where do you find friction in brakes of a bicycle brake?

A bicycle has high friction at the brakes, first and foremost. Then at places where the rider holds on to the bike, Grips and pedals. Between tires and road.

Which is an example of sliding friction a cars wheels rolling down the road a bird flying through the air a child applying the brakes on his bike a bowling ball rolling down a lan?

A child applying the brakes on his bike is an example of sliding friction, as the brake pads create friction against the bike's wheels to slow it down.


Do brakes on a bike work because of Gravity?

No brakes on anything work because of gravity. Pressure and friction are what stop anything utilizing brakes. On a bike, you pull the brake lever on the handle bar and it pulls the line connected to your brakes. The two brakes pads on either side of your wheel compress, applying friction and thus stopping your bike. The harder you pull, the faster you stop.


Why are bike brakes hot after slowing a bike at the bottom of a steep hill?

That is because of Friction. It is called heat friction and when you slow down after the brakes rub so hard against each other, it generates a lot of heat. also, you can check Wikipedia for more about heat friction.


What occurs when the brakes of a bike cause it to slow down or stop?

When the brakes of a bike are engaged, they create friction against the wheels, which slows down their rotation. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving bike into thermal energy, causing the bike to decelerate. The brake pads press against the wheel rims (in rim brakes) or against the disc (in disc brakes), effectively reducing the bike's speed until it stops. The process is influenced by the force applied to the brakes and the condition of the brake components.


What force causes a bike to slow down when you stop pedalling?

Friction causes the bike to slow down.
