What forces created the screeching of tires?
Friction between the tire and the road surface
What is rolling friction and what does it do?
In general rolling friction is any friction specifically related to the rolling motion. The friction on the axle to hub bearing, the tire flexing, the tire tread on the surface of the road and so on.
Is there a lot of friction on a bicycle tire?
Yes. if it wasn't the tire would slip, both against the rim and the road surface.
How is friction good?
Friction is good for two reasons, both are related. 1) Friction allows your car to stay on the road. Bigger tire surface translates to more friction=better handling. Also 2) friction stops your car (brakes). The bigger the contact surface from the tire (the tire touching the road) and the better the braking system (drum brakes or disk brakes), the quicker your car will stop.
What 3 factors determine the amount of friction in a car?
Wind Resistance, Road Surface, Tire Structure
Why does the pressure of an tire increase if the automobile is driven for a while?
The air in the tire is becoming heated due to the tires friction on the road surface. Heated air increases the pressure in the tire
Is friction needed on a tire of a bike?
Yes. w/o friction, a tyre would slide both against the rim and against the road surface.
Which wheel of vehicle will have more friction one having wider tire and one having sleek tire?
Friction or grip if it's friction i think the tyre with the most contact with the road surface. If it's grip then the one with the tread
How is the relationship between the friction and surface area of tires unusual?
Throw in variances in road surfaces with friction and tire surface area and the relationship is very unusual... you might call it a 'manage-et-trois'.
What happens to the tire pressure in the tires as the tires move?
tire pressures will rise due to the tire heating up due to flexing and friction of it against the road surface. This is why the tire pressures are suppose to be set when they are cold.
How does tire tread increase friction between tire and road?
tires are made of rubber and rubber can cause friction
When is friction a useful force that acts between objects?
Most forms of conventional movement require friction. For example, a car could not go anywhere if not for the the friction between the rubber tire and the road surface.
