What is the helpful way friction affects a car?
By using kinetic friction
Where friction is helpful?
Friction is helpful between car tyres and roads for grip. It is also sometimes used for heating as friction generates heat.
2 ways that friction is helpful?
Car BreaksBike Breaks
How friction can be both helpful and unhelpful?
On a car, friction is useful on the tyres and brakes. It is not required for the parts that rotate.
Why is friction harmful while driving a car in the winter?
Friction can be harmful or helpful when driving, no matter what time of year. For instance it is helpful when breaking and it is harmful between bearing surfaces. The loss of friction between the tyres and the road during winter can be disastrous.
When friction is not helpful?
Friction can be helpful and not helpful it is not helpful when you are running because it slows you down hope that'll help!!!! ;)
What is one helpful way friction affects a car?
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 are examples of friction not being helpful?
If there is no friction like Ice has has no friction you will slip.If you are driving and the road is icy and a car is coming at you and you push your brakes you will slid and the two cars will crash.Hopefully that answered your QuestionThank You for going on Answers.
The friction between the bristles of your toothbrush and the surfaces of your teeth is an example of?
Helpful Friction.
When is friction helpful in your house?
when you use matches
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 a feature of a car that increases friction?
the front boot of the car increases the friction on the car
