How does gravity slow down a car?
Gravity itself does not slow things down (the Moon still keeps going round the Earth and the Earth still keeps going round the Sun). It's friction that slows things down. I have to say that there is likely to be more friction if there's more gravity but that's a secondary effect.
What force could be added to slow a car down when it is going down a ramp?
Friction between the tires and the road surface can slow down a car going down a ramp. The brakes can also be applied to introduce additional friction and slow the car further. Additionally, aerodynamic drag can play a minor role in slowing down the car at higher speeds.
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.
Can the roughness of a ramp slow down a toy car?
Yes, the roughness of a ramp can slow down a toy car because friction between the rough surface of the ramp and the wheels of the toy car will create resistance, causing the car to lose some of its kinetic energy as heat. This will result in the car moving more slowly compared to a ramp with a smoother surface.
How does friction help a car slow down?
Friction is suppose to slow down things and yes it can. HOW DOES: both 2 surfaces collide with each other, causing heat. Heat will slow down the object by "meeting" with the 2 surfaces. I hope I helped :)
How does friction affect the balloon powered car?
Friction will slow it down
How does friction affect the movement of a car?
able to slow down
What force caused the brakes on the car to slow you down?

What is the friction that causes a car to slow down when you take your foot off the accelerator?
Rolling friction By Alex ceron
Why does your car slow down while driving and giving it gas to the floor?
Because of friction
Is friction only usful for a car when it is slowing down?
No. Friction is useful every time there is a change to how the car is moving. Getting it moving, getting it to turn as well as getting it to slow down.
What makes your car slow down?
"Brakes" make your car slow down.Additional answerSo does friction and air resistance and the rolling resistance of the rubber tyres.
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 is friction important in controlling your vehicle?
Friction allows the driver to slow down the vehicle when he/she applies the brakes and to put the car into a complete stop.
