When a cars tires are stuck in snow or mud is it better to have more less friction and why?
It is better to have less friction because it will be easier to get out.
How does friction helps formula one cars Win a race?
When it comes to tires, it allows the cars to corner, brake and accelerate better.
How does a burn out ruin tires on race cars?
A burn out will ruin tires on race cars by burning up the rubber. The rubber of the tires will get worn from the friction of the pavement causing the tires to tear.
Why do cars have different tires on different terrains?
Friction and the way the tires grip the terrain help to explain why there are varied types of tires.
Cars being driven on icy roads can have better traction if they have chains on their tires because chains increase the between the tires and the road?
Chains increase the surface area which increases the friction so you gain traction.
If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?
Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.
Why increase friction?
You would increase friction so that you wouldn't slip, by using the brakes on your car of bike you increase friction to stop yourself. Hikers increase friction between their feet and the ground by wearing hiking shoes that grip the ground better. Tires on cars that create more friction make the car go faster, because instead of sliding, the tires grip the ground and push off.
What types of tires cause a lot of friction?
I think you may mean traction? Usually the wider the tires the better. Also racing tires greatly improve cornering because of their soft compound which grabs the road better.If you meant friction... um, I would say skinny tires because it would be easier to "burn out" or lose traction, causing lots of friction.The loss of traction, when talking about cars, will increase the amount of friction and heat.
What are the roles of friction and gravity in the car?
Friction in cars are produced by the tires and the clutch. The friction caused by the tires allow the vehicle to stay on the road, while the friction produced by the clutch makes it possible for the car to get moving. While gravity, for example supplies the force that pulls the vehicle down the hill.
Why tires of cars are threaded?
To provide better grip in road
What are five examples of friction being increased?
~Putting chains on truck tires in the snow ~Rubbing your hands together ~Car Brakes ~Race Cars have special tires to increase traction and friction ~When you walk it's friction that keeps you from sliding all over the place
Why does f1 cars need to change their tires so often?
so that less friction is caused, and to improve speed
