A tire has grip on it and so does a road so they can grip onto each other and the car can move. If there was no friction, then the cars wheels would spin, but the car woud not move as there is nothing for it to hold onto

What are two examples of friction?

Say you are driving a car or riding a motorcycle and you just remove you foot or hand from the accelerator. What will happen? After some time depending on your velocity, the vehicle will stop. Why? Consider your entire vehicle an ideal system meaning that no part provides any sort of friction. Now consider road, road is rough and will definitely provide friction. Since your vehicle's tires are rolling against the road, the road will provide friction in the direction opposite to that of your vehicle's motion. In real situations, both tire and road will contribute to the rolling friction.


What would happen if there was no friction between your feet and the ground?

You would start sliding forever or trip in an instant and would not be able to stand up and walk properly without holding onto an object. Because friction is what keeps your feet remain still on the ground.


When and where do you get friction?

Friction occurs whenever two surfaces come into contact and rub against each other. It can happen in various places, such as between the soles of your shoes and the ground when walking, or between moving parts in machinery. It typically happens when there is relative motion or an attempt to move between the two surfaces.


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 are Two reasons friction occurs between surfaces?

Friction occurs between surfaces due to the roughness of the surfaces, which causes them to interlock and resist relative motion. Additionally, friction can also happen because of the attractive forces between the molecules of the two surfaces, known as adhesion.

no


What would happen if there was no friction when a tire was rolling on the ground?

It would keep rolling.


What would happen if there were no friction between the rolling ball and the ground?

ball will just move without rolling, staying in it's initial position but moving indefinitely (that is if it is given an initial force).

If two masses fell 3 meters to the ground. what will happen if friction is negleted when they reach the ground?

They would hit the ground at the same time.


Do you have to overcome rolling friction when you slide a bag of groceries across the countertop?

If the bag is sliding across the countertop (i.e., the same surface of the bag is always in contact with the counter), then no. Rolling friction is only relevant when the surface of an object in contact with the surface it moves across always changes.

What transformotion of energy happen in a rolling toy?

Kinetic energy is used to overcome friction and is dispersed as heat; some energy is converted to sound.

What happen when you roll a ball on a rough surface?

When you roll a ball on a rough surface, the friction between the ball and the surface will slow it down more than if it was on a smooth surface. The rough surface causes the ball to lose some of its kinetic energy as heat due to friction, resulting in a shorter overall distance traveled compared to rolling on a smooth surface.
