Brakes use friction to stop the car. .

The serpentine belt uses friction between the belt and the pulleys to power the secondary systems (water pump, alternator, Power Steering pump, A/C pump, etc.)

What is one harmfull way friction affects a car?

Creates heat in the engine (friction of moving parts creates heat) Reduces efficiency (friction in the drivetrain, as well as air resistance, slows the car down) Causes the tires to wear out (friction between the road and the rubber causes the rubber to wear)


How is friction helpful whilst driving a car?

There are many ways that friction is helpful while driving a car. Probably the most obvious one is the frictional force that exists between the tires and the road surface. If there was no friction, the car would not be able to move. The tires would simply spin in place. Various tire compounds will yield a different coefficient of friction dependent on the application (for example, you would want a higher coefficient of friction in racing slicks than you would need for street tires). There are areas of the car where reducing the coefficient of friction based on the specific materials used would be more helpful. For example, you would want as little friction as possible to occur between internal engine components like that between the piston rings and the cylinder wall because you want your engine to be more efficient (the engine doesn't have to work as hard to produce power if it doesn't have to work against it's own internal friction). Hope that helps!


What is the answer to the analogy friction is to rubber as repetition is to what?

Of the quiz choices given, one was "novelty" in that novelty encourages repetition as rubber increases friction. There are any number of other possible interpretations, including "habit" or "persistence" which could also lead to repetition.


Friction can stop some objects working well give one example?

A rolling boll on a plane surface will stop after some distance due to friction.


Does Friction only affects solid objects?

no it may affect the liquid and the gas also for example for the liquid the rivers ,and for the gases the friction may transform to heat

Cars don't get better gas or mileage.


What is advantages and disadvantages of friction?

An example using a car:Advantage: friction on car tires makes the car stop. Without friction, the car would continue without stopping (e.g. such as mass in space once given a push in one direction)Disadvantage: friction on car tires means more energy is required to propel the car forward = more gas is required for a trip.

Friction and speed?

Speed is how fast something is moving. When to things are traveling at the same speed and rubbing together, they can cause friction.


Which of the following affects one's car insurance premium?

Age of the driver.


When is friction low?

High friction is helpful for traction. For example getting a vehicle moving, making sure it turns on curves, and stopping. Sanding might be another use of high friction. Low friction is helpful for many other things. For example, back to the car, wheels must turn easily, engine parts must turn. Everything runs better and uses less fuel with low friction. Bearings help with lowering the friction. Moving a heavy container from one side of the room to another might be benefited by low friction. You could either slide it... or perhaps pick it up with a low friction handtruck. Ice skating? As we make things move faster, even the friction of air becomes significant. So people choose aerodynamic (or low friction) shapes.
