Friction can have many effects on a moving car. It depends on the situation under discussion. If the tyres are brand new, more friction will be experienced as the grooves of the tyres will interlock with the surface of the road. But when the tyres are wearing away, their surface becomes relatively smooth. Friction will not have as great an effect.
If the road is layered with snow, friction will be minimal and the car will move with great velocity . . . uncontrollably. This is why a car skids on an icy road.
Where friction prevents a fast driver to reveal his real potential on the highway, it also helps him apply brakes. It is friction which assists the tyres to stop moving .
What else can I help you with?
Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?
Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.
What force causes the car to stop by opposing the motion of the car?
The force that causes the car to stop by opposing its motion is friction. Friction occurs between the tires of the car and the road surface, creating a force that resists the motion of the car, ultimately bringing it to a stop.
Which force needs to touch something to have an effect?
The force of friction needs to touch an object to have an effect. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and one surface resists the motion of the other surface. It is this resistance that allows friction to have an effect on objects in contact.
How does friction affect forward motion Give and example?
Friction opposes motion by creating resistance between surfaces in contact. In the context of forward motion, friction can reduce the speed of an object. For example, when a car applies brakes, the friction between the brake pads and the rotors slows down the car by converting its kinetic energy into heat energy.
What effect does friction and gravity have on an object?
One effect of friction on an object is the ability to make an object stop when moving such as a car's tires on the road at a stop sign. One effect of gravity is the falling of objects to Earth.
Does friction reduce or increase when a car is moving?
Friction is de opposition of motion. if a car is in motion, the friction is said to be reduced because it oppose de movement of the car.
What is the effect of friction on a motion?
Friction will cause the item in motion to heat up. It will also wear the surface away.
Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?
Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.
What force causes the car to stop by opposing the motion of the car?
The force that causes the car to stop by opposing its motion is friction. Friction occurs between the tires of the car and the road surface, creating a force that resists the motion of the car, ultimately bringing it to a stop.
Why doesn't a car in motion on a flat road stay in motion?
Because of friction.
How can you reduce the effect of friction on the motion of a body?
by applying water on the floor.
What is the effect on friction on moving objects?
It resists the motion (slows it down)
If friction acting on the car is the action force then what is the reaction force and what object does it act on?
The reaction force to the friction acting on the car is the friction force acting on the road. It acts on the car in the opposite direction to the friction force acting on the car.
What is the effect of frictionon the motion of an object?
Friction universally counteracts the motion of an object, causing it to slow down.
Where does the friction oppose motion on a roller coaster car?
between the wheels of the car and the track
How does friction help the movement of a car?
friction helps the movement of the car by allowing it to move easily and smoothly. -------------- Friction between the tires and the road propels the car forward and steer it. Friction in the brakes helps control the motion.
Which force needs to touch something to have an effect?
The force of friction needs to touch an object to have an effect. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and one surface resists the motion of the other surface. It is this resistance that allows friction to have an effect on objects in contact.
