For something to accelerate or go faster, a force needs to be applied to it. When you walk, your shoe wants to slide on the sidewalk, but the friction from the tiny bumps on both surfaces creates resistance that prevents this, and you move forward. The sidewalk friction is actually pushing back on your shoe so you accelerate forward. Hope that helps.
More friction typically makes an object go slower. Friction is a force that opposes motion and reduces the speed of an object.
No, friction actually acts to slow down objects by opposing their motion. It is a force that acts in the opposite direction of an object's movement, causing energy to be lost as heat.
A smoother surface, such as polished wood or plastic, will help reduce friction and allow the toy car to go down the ramp faster. Avoid surfaces with a lot of texture or resistance, like carpet or rough concrete, as they will slow down the car's movement.
A smooth and slippery surface, such as polished metal or plastic, will help you go down a slide faster. Texture or rough surfaces can create friction, slowing you down.
You can make your balloon-powered car go faster by increasing the amount of air you blow into the balloon, ensuring the wheels are properly aligned and have low friction, and making the car as lightweight as possible. Additionally, consider utilizing a longer and narrower design for better aerodynamics.
As I have heard, friction makes things go faster....

use bigger wheels and use less friction on the ground make it weigh less

There are 2 ways that different ramps will alter the movement of a toy car. The material of the ramp will affect the friction (grip) of the car, if the friction is more ON THE WHEELS, it will go faster. If the air friction, or resistance is greater, it will go slower. Also, the height of the 'starting end' of the ramp will make the car go faster becase momentum buils up quicker, so the car will go faster. Hope this was helpfull!
You want less friction. Then you will go faster.
Friction is force that opposes an objects motion. Therefore, the less friction the object encounters, the less opposition it will have to its direction of travel. The less opposition it has, the faster it may go. Theoretically, a moving object that encounters no friction will continue to travel at a constant rate for EVER.
it is used to make things go faster
true. Friction DOES slow things down. In fact, if there was no friction once something started moving it wouldn't be able to stop Friction can slow the things down. It's true.
The friction (the air going against you) is lessened
yes because it is smaller and friction will be smaller so it will go faster!
