What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
coefficient kinetic
How do you walk on an icy roof without slipping?
You go Ninja. Also static and sliding friction help you
How is changing direction considered acceleration?
It's a chance in velocity ... and velocity is a vector, NOT a scalar. If in doubt, just make a sharp angled turn while walking (especially on an icy sidewalk).
Explain why ears skid on curves when the road is icy?
When a car is on a curve, centrifugal force tends to force it outwards. Normally, this force is resisted by the car's tires gripping the road surface. However, ice on the road reduces the friction and therefore the tires cannot grip so well.
How do forces like friction help us?
friction slows us down if it wasn't for friction everyone would be slipping everywhere
What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
coefficient kinetic
What force makes it less likely for a person to slip on a dry sidewalk as opposes to an icy sidewalk?
The dry sidewalk has more friction compared to the ice on the icy sidewalk
What force makes it less likely for a person to slip on a dry sidewalk as opposed to an icy sidewalk?
The dry sidewalk has more friction compared to the ice on the icy sidewalk
What force makes it less likely for a person to slip on a dry sidewalk opposed to an icy sidewalk?
Friction
What is icey?
It is spelled "icy", as in "I slipped on the icy sidewalk."
Do abs brake leave skid marks on icy road conditions?
ABC brakes will leave skid marks during icy road conditions because of its slippery nature. ABS keeps brakes from locking up but does not prevent tires from sliding on ice.
What kind fo friction will a car skidding on an icy road show?
Sliding Friction . . . Hoped I Help!! God bless :)
What do you think would happen if you spread regular table salt (sodium chloride) on an icy sidewalk?
it will melt
How could you increase the friction on an iced covered sidewalk or icy road?
Pour sand over the ice.
What kind of friction will a car skidding down an icy road show?
