When the brakes in a car are applied, the frictional force force on the tyres is

a

is a disadvantage because it is in the direction of the motion of the car

b

is a disadvantage because it is in the opposite direction of the motion of the car

c

is an advantage because it is in the direction of the motion of the car

d

is an advantage because it is in the opposite direction of the motion of the car

Friction opposes motion nd it is an advantage bcos it stops the car from moving when brake is applied

the answer is D because according to the second law of static friction,frictional force acts in a direction opposite to that of motion.

d ansa is D. Cos friction itself is a force dat exist between 2 bodies in contact nd tends 2 oppose d motion of 1 ova d oda.

We define friction as the force thats acts at the surface of separation between 2 object in contact and oppose their motion over each other.the breaks act in an opposite way 2 help deaccelerate.

Friction is always an opposing motion. It makes work more difficult to do. Friction is advantage to the brakes of a car because it causes the tyre to stop faster since the force is pulling the tyre backwards

Is D bcos frictional force is oppose the motion of the moving object which tend to stop it from moving

B'cos friction itself opposse motion of anoda in term of fractional force dat is it. Is greater dan limiting action of force accordin to definition of force"as pull or push"of am object

Is D bcos frictional force is oppose the motion of the moving object which tend to stop it from moving,so it is advantage

The ansa is D cos Friction is a force dat tend 2 oppose motio, so d limitation force is an advantage 2 it

Application of brake is one of the advantages of frictional force and it is always against motion.

it is because the accelerating force has to be opposed by an equal or greater frictional force

Friction is a form of force that tends to stop the relative motion of bodies in contact, it also acts in opposite direction of that of said bodies.

The answer which is option D is because according to Newton's 3rd law which states action and reaction are equal and opposite,the kinetic energy of the moving car must be equal to the force on the brakes which tends to act in the opposite direction.Also in short,friction opposes motion.

When the brake is applied the frictional force between the car and the tyres act in opposite direction no t to cause accident

we all know dat friction opposes motion but nonody is answering the real question about the direction 👿👿
