When you drift(accelerating faster then holding, steering, and releasing the brake), the skid marks and rubber smoke will appear on the road. If you are also doing a drift race, that also happens.

How does friction affect the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface road conditions including skidding braking force braking distance thinking distance and stopping distance?

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.


Bad uses of friction?

It can make movement difficult. It can waste vehicles energy because extra fuel is then needed to fuel the vehicle. It can cause objects to wear away due to the friction between the two objects.


Why is the outer bank of the road kept slightly higher than the inner bank?

while taking turn on the road,a car moves in a circular path to keep the car moving along the circular path, centripetal force is required. in the absence of this force, the car will skid off the road to the outer size of the road and may possibly turn turtle due to inertia .the force of friction between the tires and roads provides the necessary centripetal force and keeps the car moving on the curved path.


How inclined plane and rough surface reduce friction?

An inclined plane reduces friction when kinetic energy is present. If the object is in motion down the ramp, then there would be gravity assisting it downwards. The normal force would decrease, as well as the friction. For rough surfaces there usually is more friction than smooth surfaces. For instance, if a car travels on an unpaved road, it travels slower due to friction. Compare that to a paved road and the car moves a lot faster.

Friction

Why in rainy season the moving vehicles on road skid?

In rainy season, moving vehicles on the road will skid due to the loss of friction when the tires encounter water on the road.


Why does a car skid when brakes are apllied suddenly?

In terms of Physics, a car's tires will skid on the road due to a difference in the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces. Other forces also play a role in determining whether or not the car will have enough frictional grip to stay on the road i.e. the normal force, gravity, other external forces.


What is skid in tires?

When the brakes are hit very hard over a short distance, the wheels of the vehicles stop but there is still momentum in the vehicle. Due to this there are skid marks on the surface it is travelling. This is called as skid in tyres.


What causes car tires to leave skid marks on the pavement?

Rubber being removed from the tire due to friction.


Why would a car skid on a road?

The car skids less on a dry road due to greater friction between the tires and the alspahlt. Surfaces coated with water and ice have a lower coefficient of riction.

Why will a car skid more on a wet road than the dry road?

because it's slippery... wet surfaces are slippery while dry is not this is because there is less friction and it cant grip to the road as well there is less traction when the roads are wet as the water creates a thin layer between the surface of the road and the tire. this means that the tires cannot grip onto the road and therefore skid TIRES SKID ON WET SURFACES DUE TO THE WATER THAT COMES BETWEEN THE TIRES TRACTION SURFACES AND THE ROAD. DRIVE sLOWLY ON WET/ SLICK ROADS AND BE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD TIRES AND BRAKES ON YOUR VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES AS WELL AS PROPER INFLATION AND ALL SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT SUCH AS WIND. WIPERS, LIGHTS,(BRAKE,HEADLIGHTS,TURN SIGNALS,ETC) HAPPY MOTORING.


Why tires on a car screech when the breaks are slammed?

The friction between the asphalt on the road and the rubber tires cause a screeching sound, due to the sudden stopping of the wheel motion. The sound is caused because the tire has overcome static friction, and is now in sliding friction between it and the road.


What is disadvantage of friction?

1) In machines the mechanical parts which rub with each other wear out. 2) Due to friction between the sole of the shoe and the floor the sole wears out. 3) Tyres of vehicles wear out because of friction. 4) Energy is wasted in overcoming the force of friction.


What are the thrcniques adopted by human beings to reduce energy losses due to friction?

One of the examples is vehicles are designed in "AERO DYNAMIC" model.


Name a way that friction is helpful?

Advantages of Friction:Friction plays a vital role in our daily life. Without friction we are handicap.It is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction. When we move on ice, it becomes difficult to walk due to low friction of ice.We can not fix nail in the wood or wall if there is no friction. It is friction which holds the nail.A horse can not pull a cart unless friction furnishes him a secure Foothold.


Why does the pressure of a gas in a car tire increase when it is driven through a distance?

This is due to the work done against friction between road and tyre.So the gas pressure increses due to the friction with which heat produced in the tyre in trough distances
