Tyre surface:
If the tyre is new, it will have surface with depressions which will offer more friction compared to old tyre whose surface-depressions are worn out and it is more flat, so it offers less friction. Therefore, new tyre will have less stopping distance, as force of friction is more.
Thinking distance is affected neither by friction between tyre and road, nor by friction between brake and tyre.
If road has a wet surface, it has less friction so the vehicle will skid farther, and vice versa.
The braking force, i.e, friction between tyre and brake is unaffected by road condition or tyre surface. Hence the distance the vehicle travels WHILE retarding due to "braking force", is not same as stopping distance, because even when the wheels are stopped rotating due to braking force, the car will skid a little distance- this total distance is the stopping distance.

∙ 14y agoFriction is the main reason for the car to stop. From the brake pads/shoes rubbing on the brake rotors to stop the rotor from turning to the tire friction on the street. The brakes aren't the only reason for the cars stopping distance. Other factors like a wet roadway and dirt on the road. Road conditions along with tire conditions would effect the stopping distance.
The size of the car would determine this as well.

The force that stops a car from skidding?
Friction.
What is the condition of skidding on circular track?
when the centripetal force is greater than frictional force,skidding occurs.if mu is the coefficient of friction between the road and tyre,then the limiting friction .
Is friction a friend or a foe?
Friction is a friend, since without friction we would all be sliding/falling. Cars wouldn't be able to break in time without skidding and colliding with one another. -rene
Does a ball rolling down a hill cause static friction?
Friction is one force causes a ball to roll downhill. The smaller the static friction coefficient, the more liable the ball will be to skidding instead of rolling. Static friction is involved in a ball rolling downhill.
What is the different between istatistic and kinetic friction?
I assume you mean static and kinetic friction. Static friction tends to be stronger and less predictable. For example, if you start applying more and more force to a stationary brick lying on sandpaper, it is almost impossible to predict when it will begin to move. Once it is moving, however, you can get a pretty consistent estimate for how much drag the brick is experiencing (kinetic friction). Modern cars have computers monitoring the brakes. If you slam on your brakes, the computer will loosen up the brakes to prevent you from skidding. This is because static friction is more effective than kinetic friction, and once you start skidding out you have lost most of your braking power.

What kind of friction will a car skidding down an icy road show?
Sliding Friction

Does rolling or sliding friction enables you to ride a bike without skidding and falling?
Sliding Friction
Does speed affect the friction between a road and a skidding tire?
Speed does not affect the force of friction.
What is the force that stops a cyclist from skidding?
Friction
What kind fo friction will a car skidding on an icy road show?
Sliding Friction . . . Hoped I Help!! God bless :)
What is the advantages in friction?
Without friction. everything would slide about, similar to what happens when you walk on ice. Friction enables objects to remain in position, keeps cars from skidding etc.
What kind of force is bike skidding on road?
A bike skidding on a road is experience kinetic friction. This is a dissipative force, in that it takes energy out of a system when motion is in placed and puts the energy into heat.
Two examples of the role that friction has in car safety?
I only have one idea. When you are driving the distance it takes to stop depends on the road surface. E.g if you are driving on a gravel road you have a more likely chance of skidding because the gravel is not a smooth surface. So on asphalt you have more friction.

Why friction is important to be in motion?
when the friction is absent during the motion there may be a chance of skidding occurs. there should be some amount of friction during the motion of any body also there should not be too much friction as it decreases efficiency of the vehicle.
