Friction tends to slow things down -- friction, particularly within the spokes of the wheels, is, after all, the reason why a car cannot run forever on one tank of gas. However, friction is also necessary for a car to move. When a car's wheel pushes against the ground, it is the force of friction that pushes back against it; according to Newton's Third Law of Motion, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When there is no friction to push against, there is no opposing force to push the wheel of the car along, which is why it is hard do drive along a slippery icy road.

What are the factors that can affect the friction of a car while driving?
The factors that can affect the friction of a car while driving include the type and condition of the tires, the road surface, the weight of the car, and the speed at which the car is traveling.
When driving friction is critically affected by your what?
When driving, friction is critically affected by the condition of your tires, the road surface, and the speed at which you are traveling. Tires with low tread depth reduce friction, while a rough road surface can increase friction. Driving too fast can also reduce friction and increase the risk of skidding.
Is friction is a foe?
Friction can be a friend when walking and when driving a car. For example, walking or driving on ice can be very risky due to the lack of friction. Friction can be a foe when it causes more work to have to be done or excess heating. Friction is responsible for our getting blisters on our hands or feet.
What is lateral friction?
Lateral friction refers to the resistance encountered when an object moves sideways or perpendicular to its direction of movement. It is caused by the interaction between surfaces and can affect the stability and maneuverability of the object. Lateral friction can be a crucial factor in various situations, such as driving on slippery roads or navigating tight corners.
The force that stops a car from skidding?
The friction between the tires and the road surface is what prevents a car from skidding. This friction helps to maintain traction and control between the tires and the road, allowing the driver to steer and brake effectively. Factors such as tire quality, road conditions, and driving speed can all affect the amount of friction available to prevent skidding.
What are the factors that can affect the friction of a car while driving?
The factors that can affect the friction of a car while driving include the type and condition of the tires, the road surface, the weight of the car, and the speed at which the car is traveling.
What conditions would affect friction and road safety?
if it didn't have friction while driving the whole driving scene would be a chaos... ah--woo. Trinity College East de bomb squad.....2 D
How do surface affect friction?
friction
How do friction affect?
We would need to know what the friction is to affect to respond to this question.
What are factors that affecting friction?
ice can affect friction
Does speed affect the friction between a road and a skidding tire?
Speed does not affect the force of friction.
When driving friction is critically affected by your what?
When driving, friction is critically affected by the condition of your tires, the road surface, and the speed at which you are traveling. Tires with low tread depth reduce friction, while a rough road surface can increase friction. Driving too fast can also reduce friction and increase the risk of skidding.
What are the two types of friction that affect the performance of your mousetrap car?
surface friction and sliding friction
How does friction affect the balloon powered car?
Friction will slow it down
How is force of friction useful?
driving a car

How does work affect friction?
work is movement, and all movement causes friction, since there is no such thing as a "perfect" or "100% efficient" tool yet.
