Because the tires on the car make contact with the surface you are driving on and they rub together. This gradually slows your car down.

What is the force that brakes use to stop a car?

FrictionMost cars use friction between the rotor and the brake pads to slow and stop a car, however, in some newer cars, dynamic braking is used, which reduces friction and for hybrid or electric vehicles, regenerates power and feeds it back to the batteries.

Why do cars need oil?

cars are made up of mechanical moving components due to continuous moving ,there is friction between parts to reduce friction and longer life of car we need oil fro car Cars need in in order to lubricate the moving parts. In general, motor oil is the most commonly used oil in a car. This oil is meant to lubricate moving parts such as cam shafts, crank shafts, lifters and pistons. Without oil, these metal on metal contacts would heat up and eventually melt due to the friction created. Oil helps by lubricating the surfaces where moving metal parts meet. In addition, oil helps absorb and dissipate the heat generated by the friction.

Is sand a lubricant?

Sand is not typically used as a lubricant because it is abrasive and can cause more friction when used between moving parts. It can actually increase wear and damage to surfaces that are in contact with each other. Lubricants are generally smooth and slippery substances that reduce friction between surfaces.

What can stop a car from moving after starting?

Generally, cars stop moving for one of three reasons. Most commonly, the driver has used the breaks. The car can collide with some heavy object, such as a tree. (Driving off a pier into the ocean also counts.) Or, the car has run out of gas and eventually will stop moving because of air resistance if for no other reason.


To stop friction what must be used?

To stop friction, a lubricant such as oil or grease can be used to reduce the contact between two surfaces and create a barrier that minimizes friction. Additionally, using smooth surfaces, proper maintenance, and ensuring surfaces are clean can also help reduce friction.
