Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

refusing to give ID

Is it legal to refuse to give ID to a police officer? For example, if I'm riding in a car with a friend who is pulled over for speeding, if the cop asks for my identification am I legally obligated to provide it? Am I required to answer any questions asked by the policeman?
