What are the negative effects of friction?

Friction createsheat when ittwo or more objects rub together. This also present in microwaves. Another effect of friction is that it slows down objects thathave friction applied with them.ADVANTAGES OF FRICTIONFriction plays a vital role in our daily life. Without friction we are handicap.1. It is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction.2. We can not fix nail in the wood or wall if there is no friction. It is friction which holds the nail.3. A horse can not pull a cart unless friction furnishes him a secure Foothold.DISADVANTAGES OF FRICTIONDespite the fact that the friction is very important in our daily life, it also has some disadvantages like:1. The main disadvantage of friction is that it produces heat in various parts of machines. In this way some useful energy is wasted as heat energy.2. Due to friction we have to exert more power in machines.3. It opposes the motion.4. Due to friction, noise is also produced in machines.5. Due to friction, engines of automobiles consume more fuel which is a money loss.


Does friction speed up an object?

Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.


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.


Effect of speed on the force of friction?

Friction is independent of speed once an object is moving since faster does not mean more friction.


What is force called rubbing away?

Friction is the force produced when two objects are rubbed. Rough surfaces exhibit more friction while smoother surfaces tend to be almost frictionless.

Describe a situation in which static friction is useful?

Static friction is useful when trying to prevent slipping or sliding of objects on a surface. For example, static friction allows car tires to grip the road, enabling the vehicle to accelerate and stop effectively. This type of friction is crucial for stability and control in various everyday activities.

What is useful friction?

there is friction in your cars brake system and without that frictiuon there your car would roll away whenever it was on a hill so this is a good example of when friction is useful.
