When you apply the brakes, you are experiencing kinetic friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into thermal energy, which helps slow down the vehicle.

When you apply brakes on a bike and they rub against the wheel is that friction?

yes.


Breifly describe how applying the brakes to stop a bicycle is an example of force?

The brakes apply force to the wheel, causing friction which stops it.


When you apply the brakes on your bike you are clamping down on the bikes wheel to increase the force of?

You increase the friction.


What force is used to slow down a bike?

strength New: The force of friction. When you apply the brakes, they grip the wheel, creating friction, which slows down the spinning.


When you put on the brakes of a bicycle friction causes some of the mechanical energy of the brakes to change to thermal energy?

When you apply the brakes on a bicycle, friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim converts some mechanical energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by friction. This heat dissipates into the surrounding environment.


Why do car brakes get hot they are new brakes?

Because brakes create friction, and heat is a byproduct of friction.


Why are the brake pads and bicycle rims warm when you apply the brakes on a bike?

They are warm because the friction makes the molecules in the brakes move faster, which causes it to warm up.


Why do my bike brakes make a squeaky noise when I apply them?

The squeaky noise from your bike brakes when you apply them is likely due to dirt or debris on the brake pads or rims, causing friction. Cleaning the brake pads and rims can help reduce the noise.


Why does your car lurch when you apply the brakes?

The friction caused by the brakes causes the car to decelerate. This negative acceleration, in turn, causes a force to be applied to all those in the car. This is the lurch you feel.


When a moving train stops kinetic energy is changed to which kind of energy?

Heat, from the friction in the brakes.


Which is the best example of friction A. Applying brakes on a bicycle to slow downB. Getting wind in a cell to move forwardC. Putting gas in a car to driveD. Falling apples from a tree to the ground?

applying brakes on a bicycle to slow down. that's friction because when you apply the brakes, the tires of the bicycle slide on the road causing friction on the road from your tires to slow you down faster


Vehicle starts to skid you should trun steering wheel?

RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR FIRST, then turn...do not apply the brakes this is because the ability for your car 2 steer is dependant on the friction between the road and tyres. if u apply the brakes u risk at locking them up. if this happens there is nearly no friction and u wont b able 2 make the turn. what u want to do is to use as much of that friction solely 2 turn the car...hence u should not use the brakes
