What is Friction in Vehicle?

Friction in a vehicle is the resistance between surfaces that contact each other, such as between the tires and the road. It allows the vehicle to grip the road for acceleration, braking, and turning. Friction also occurs in the braking system, where it helps slow down or stop the vehicle by converting kinetic energy into heat.
