What are some bad effects of friction?

Grazing your knees and hands when falling over and sliding on a hard surface is caused by friction with the ground. A spacecraft returning to earth will heat up to red hot due to friction with the atmosphere. These are just two bad effects of friction. But, there are good effects, too. Friction from your vehicle or bicycle brakes will bring you to a stop! Friction from your tyres and the road surface will prevent you from skidding.


Why is important to reduce friction in a car engine?

Friction has two unpleasant effects: 1) it increases wear and tear, 2) it wastes energy.


What is significant friction?

Friction that effects the object in motion. insignificant friction is friction that is so small it is negligible.


What are some negative effects of friction?

Static. and when you rub two objects together it will become warm or hot


How does friction effects speed?

Friction will reduce an object's speed.


Is friction a type of gravity?

No, friction is not a type of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts two objects toward each other, while friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact with each other. Both are separate physical phenomena with different causes and effects.

Is friction a invisible force?

Friction is not an invisible force. It is the force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. Its effects can be observed and measured in various situations.


What are the effects of friction on things?

Friction results in resistance to movement and produces heat. It can be destructive.


What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?

Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.


How can you realate friction?

Friction is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. It can affect the speed and efficiency of moving objects by creating resistance. Understanding friction allows us to design better systems and materials to minimize its effects and improve performance.
