What are some situations where friction is good and some some where friction is bad?
In situations where you want to create heat or dissipate kinetic energy, friction is usually a good thing. Friction when rubbing your hands together creates heat, which you appreciate, and friction between your brake pad and brake disc slows down your car, which is also a good thing. In situations where you want to maintain kinetic energy or minimize heat, friction is usually bad. Air friction slows down a glider, limiting its range, and mechanical friction in a car rolling on a flat surface causes it to stop without the brakes being applied.
How do you brake down the number 32?
Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.Take your foot off the gas and move it to the pedal on its side - the brake pedal.

What does the term 'bhp' mean?
Brake Horsepower - The actual or useful horsepower of an engine, usually determined from the force exerted on a friction brake or dynamometer connected to the drive shaft.
What is maximum friction?
the terminal amount of friction possibly produced between two interacting inanimate objects. this is where we get brake horsepower from.
What is the friction power of an engine that has 575 brake horsepower and 720 indicated horsepower?
I don't know the answer. I would like you to please tell me
Is brake horsepower different from horsepower?
yes of course.
What are friction materials?
friction materials are the one which help in inducing friction to a friction-less object, like brake lining on the brake shoe is used for inducing friction between the brake shoe and the inner rim of the wheel.
What does bhp brake horsepower mean?
Brake horse power is the power output of the drive shaft on an engine without the power loss caused by the gears, transmission, friction, etc. The actual useful horsepower delivered to the propellor or wheel is called the shaft horsepower. Its also called effective ,true, wheel horsepower as well as other terms. The term horsepower is is not a good measurement of power as there asre too many different systems of measuring horsepower. The current trend is to use kilowatts or megawatts.
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.
What is the horsepower of a Triumph America?
According to Triumph, it is 54 bhp (brake horsepower) @ 6,750 rpm. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, horsepower at the output shaft of an engine, turbine, or motor is termed brake horsepower or shaft horsepower.
What is brake horsepower in hvac systems?
Brake horsepower is the hvac motor horsepower before the motor hp is dropped due to a load. Indicated, gross and SAE are other ways to rate horsepower.
What is the difference between brake horsepower and horsepower?
The difference between brake horsepower and horsepower or wheel horsepower, they are the same thing, is that brake horse power is the power produced by the crank. The wheel horsepower is the amount of power delivered to the wheels. Brake horsepower refers to the method used to test the engine. A brake is attached to the engine and used to maintain the engine at a constant RPM at full throttle. The delivered power output is then a simple calculation of RPM times torque. Horse power is based on the average amount of work that a horse could do in a day. It is taken to be 746watts. well you guessed it engine output is also specified in kilowatts so divide by 746 and you have horsepower. As stated above it is all the same thing. There is a difference between advertised horsepower and brake horsepower. Advertised horsepower is what a manufacturer will rate its engine/automobile/machine to produce. Brake horsepower is the actual measured horsepower, for example, of a motor on an engine dynamometer.
An engine with a brake horsepower of 20 bhp would have a rated horsepower of?
16
What needs lots of friction?
The braking system on a car depends on lots of friction between the brake pads and the brake disk.
