It would not be able to move. The push of the engine driving the car forward depends on friction between the tyres and the road. If something else started it moving, the brakes couldn't work to stop it.

A car is driving on a flat road When the driver hits the brakes the car slows down and stops What would happen if there were no friction?

If you're asking in the theoretical sense as in there were no friction at all in the universe then the car would never stop. Then again if that were the case then the car would have a hard time to move in the first place.


What would happen to your shoelaces if there was no friction?

If there was no friction, your shoelaces would not stay tied, as friction between the laces and knots is what keeps them in place. Without friction, the laces would easily slip and come undone.


What would happen if there was no friction between a car's tires and the road when you apply the brakes?

If there was no friction between a car's tires and the road when you apply the brakes, the car would continue moving forward without the ability to slow down or stop. This lack of friction would make it extremely difficult for the car to maintain control or steer effectively, leading to a loss of braking and handling capabilities. It would pose a significant safety hazard and increase the risk of accidents.


Why is friction necessary to make a car move?

Because if there is no friction between the wheels and the asphalt the car would simply spin out. Unable to move at all on a friction-less surface. In fact, it's so important racecars have upsidedown wings to push the car into the ground to get better friction. Which when we're talking about car wheels is also called traction.


What needs lots of friction?

The braking system on a car depends on lots of friction between the brake pads and the brake disk.

How does friction help and hurt you?

Think of a car, friction causes air resistance on the car and results in lower gas mileage, but without friction, the tires would just spin in place and the car would not go anywhere.
