Friction does work to slow down the car. Thus, the more friction there is, the less distance a car can go.

How far can a toy car go on a ramp?

The distance a toy car can travel on a ramp depends on factors like the incline of the ramp, the initial velocity of the car, and any friction present. In general, a toy car on a ramp can roll for a distance equivalent to the length of the ramp if there is no significant friction or obstacles in its path.


How does surface material effect how far a toy car will roll?

Surface material can impact how far a toy car will roll. Smooth surfaces like hardwood floors or concrete allow for less friction and the car can roll farther. Rough surfaces like carpet or grass create more friction, slowing down the car and reducing the distance it can travel.


How do you make a mousetrap car that will go fast and far?

To make a mousetrap car that goes fast and far, ensure that it is lightweight with minimal friction. Use materials like balsa wood or light plastic for the body, and smooth wheels to reduce resistance. You can also increase the tension in the mousetrap and optimize the placement of the wheels for maximum distance and speed.


Does friction stop a vehicle in motion?

It can, or it can slow it down, as with car brakes. For moving objects, friction transforms kinetic energy into heat or other physical forces (ripping, tearing). As an example, conventional disk brakes slow a wheel down by pressing two surfaces together, generating heat. However, if a car's tires were to suddenly go flat, their rolling friction would become dragging friction, heating and tearing the rubber, and the car would probably not keep moving for very far.


Negative and positive effects of friction?

friction can cause: 1) Physical wear and tear of moving parts. 2) degradation of materials by continuous friction. 3) wastage of 70% of energy in car engines. However, friction is useful in: 1) walking 2) car brakes, friction between brake pads and Tyre causes car to slow down. 3) techniques like friction welding.

How far a car weighting 3 tons go and at what speed if it is hit by another car weighting 2 tons at the speed of 300 kmph and how to calculate using simple maths?

How far it will go will depend on the coefficient of friction which, judging by the question, is not simple maths.


Is a car rolling to a stop friction?

The answer to that would be Yes. The friction is found with the weight of your car pressing down on the tires, and the tires make contact with the road. There's other factors that play into how far the car will roll before it comes to a complete stop. These factors include the weight of the vehicle, the terrain, and the weather conditions (mainly wind).
