How does friction helps formula one cars Win a race?

When it comes to tires, it allows the cars to corner, brake and accelerate better.


How does a burn out ruin tires on race cars?

A burn out will ruin tires on race cars by burning up the rubber. The rubber of the tires will get worn from the friction of the pavement causing the tires to tear.


Why do cars have different tires on different terrains?

Friction and the way the tires grip the terrain help to explain why there are varied types of tires.


Is it true cars need friction to keep moving?

Yes, cars need friction between their tires and the road surface to accelerate, decelerate, and turn. Without friction, the tires would not be able to grip the road, leading to the car sliding or skidding uncontrollably.


Why do cars slide when braking?

Cars slide when braking because the friction between the tires and the road is not enough to stop the car's momentum. This lack of friction causes the tires to lose traction and slide instead of gripping the road surface.


When a cars tires are stuck in snow or mud is it better to have more less friction and why?

It is better to have less friction because it will be easier to get out.


If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?

Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.


Why do drag cars have small front tires?

Drag cars have small front tires to reduce friction and resistance, allowing the car to accelerate faster and maintain stability at high speeds.


Do cars need friction to stop?

Yes, cars need friction between the tires and the road to stop. When the brakes are applied, the brake pads create friction against the brake rotors, which slows down the wheels and ultimately brings the car to a stop. Without friction, the tires would not be able to grip the road surface and the car would not be able to stop effectively.


What are the roles of friction and gravity in the car?

Friction in cars are produced by the tires and the clutch. The friction caused by the tires allow the vehicle to stay on the road, while the friction produced by the clutch makes it possible for the car to get moving. While gravity, for example supplies the force that pulls the vehicle down the hill.


Why does f1 cars need to change their tires so often?

so that less friction is caused, and to improve speed


Effect of friction on the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface?

the more worn-out the tyre the lesser the friction produced.newer tyres are better in stopping cars as they can produce greater friction. the worn-out tyre has a surface which is plainer than the new tyre. lesser surface irregularities leads to lesser friction.
