Friction is helpful when you need to slow down or stop by applying the brakes. It allows the brake pads to grip the wheel rims and create the necessary force to halt the bike. Friction is not helpful when you want to maintain a constant speed, as it creates resistance that can make cycling more challenging.
What else can I help you with?
Explain how air friction is reduced in cars and bicycle?
The front of the car is blunt, making it easier to 'cut' through air, thus reducing friction. For a bicycle, since it is very thin and angular, its shape (and the tires') makes it easier for air to glide over the bicycle, thus reducing friction.
What types of friction occur when you ride a bike through a puddle?
When you ride a bike through a puddle, you experience both kinetic friction between your tires and the wet surface of the puddle, as well as fluid friction from the water resisting the movement of your tires. The water can also create hydroplaning, reducing the traction between your tires and the ground.
What forces keep you in place on a fairground ride?
Centripetal force, friction, and gravity are the main forces that keep you in place on a fairground ride. Centripetal force pulls you towards the center of the ride, while friction between your body and the seat helps prevent you from sliding. Gravity also plays a role in keeping you grounded and pressed against the ride.
What forces take place when a fair ground ride is in motion?
When a fairground ride is in motion, forces like gravity, centripetal force, and friction come into play. Gravity pulls riders downward, while centripetal force keeps them moving in a circular path. Friction between the ride and the ground or air helps to control the speed and direction of the ride.
How can you decrase friction?
Depends what you want to increase/decrease friction on. If is like a weight on the floor.. Then to increase the friction all you have to do is increase the weight, To reduce it you either reduce the weight or get a smoother surface, or maybe a cloth in-between the floor and the weight.
Why do the brake pads on a bicycle become warm when you ride down a hill?
friction
Is friction increased with inflated tires?
No, when your tire is at the optimum recommended pressure friction is least.- You will notice this most on bicycle tires, when pressure is low, it's harder to pedal. I pump my bicycle tires to 45 psi and have a smooth, fast ride.
Can you ride a bicycle if your license was suspended because of DUI?
yes you can ride a bicycle.
