well friction is almost the essential component in a car. You have friction everywhere. You have friction in your engine, your brakes, your transmission, and on your tires. Friction helps you move and stop. Most cars today waste the energy made from friction but some hybrids use all of these frictions to charge their battery to start the car over and over again, or help it down the road.

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.


When is friction not so useful?

When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)


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 is and isn't friction useful?

fricton is useful in the cases of deacceleration or tending the body to be at the rest.eg: braking car,trekking,air friction in ski jumping,eraser for rubbing etc. However friction usefulness doesn't hold true in car engines,because it doesnt need fiction so we use oils to reduce it.


When is friction useful?

Friction is useful in various ways, such as enabling us to walk and grip objects. It is crucial for vehicles to move on roads and for machines to operate effectively. Friction also helps in slowing down moving objects and preventing slipping or sliding.

When Is Friction Useful and When Is Friction Not Useful?

Friction is useful when you are trying to stop a car, but not useful in the pistons of a car's engine (It makes them less efficient).

What is useful friction?

there is friction in your cars brake system and without that frictiuon there your car would roll away whenever it was on a hill so this is a good example of when friction is useful.
