What happens if a car accelerates on a sharp curve in a roadway?
you could exceed the traction of your tires and lose control and skid or flip
What would happen if automobile tires had no treads on them?
You will lose traction especially on wet roads.
How can you get into drifting?
lochlan bonney dosent know because he smells you have to cause the tires to lose traction
Why drivers should use caution on wet roads scientifically?
The water creates a layer between your tires and the road so your tires don't grip the road, they lose traction.
What types of tires cause a lot of friction?
I think you may mean traction? Usually the wider the tires the better. Also racing tires greatly improve cornering because of their soft compound which grabs the road better.If you meant friction... um, I would say skinny tires because it would be easier to "burn out" or lose traction, causing lots of friction.The loss of traction, when talking about cars, will increase the amount of friction and heat.
How much water does it take to lose control of the vehicle?
I dont think there is a set amount, it only takes enough water for one or more tires to lose traction with the road.
If water on the road surface is as low as 1 12 of an inch at what speed can your tires lose total traction?
At 65 mph, your tires can lose total contact with the road. Of course, your car can begin to hydroplane at slower speeds if your tire tread and pressure are not at the proper levels
Why do some cars swerve when they are under a caution during a race?
For added tractionAt low speeds the tires tend to cool down and lose traction. Swerving serves to increase tire temperature and, hence, traction. Also, hot tires become quite sticky. rubber scrubbed from tires during a race collects on the track, so when the cars slow down, the pieces of rubber collect on the tires which means they need to be cleaned. The swerving helps remove the excess to improve traction on the restart.
Vehicles skids are most likely to be caused by?
There are a few different things that can cause a vehicle to skid. If the roads are wet or icy, it can cause the tires to lose traction and skid. If a driver is going too fast for the conditions, or if they make a sudden stop or turn, that can also cause the tires to lose traction and skid.
If water on the road surface is as low as 2 inches at what speed can your tires lose total traction contact?
For airplanes a hydroplaning speed can be calculated (roughly 8.6 times the square root of the tire pressure) but it is not as simple for cars. If you have bald tires, the speed will be lower, if you have good wet traction tires with "aqua channels" it will be higher. In all cases, if you know you are going to drive over 2" of standing water, slow down.
What does orange car with slippery behind it mean on a dodge charger?
If it's just blinking, but goes away, it means that the tires started to spin/lose traction. If it's on the whole time there is either a problem with the traction control system or you've hit the button to partially disable it.
Which is better 4WD or AWD?
4WD is better in my opinion. I'f you don't know the difference it is that 4WD is were you have the option of engaging the 4WD feature whenever. AWD is common among more luxuriated "off road vehicles" and when the tires lose traction a computer within the vehicle will activate the AWD feature to re-gain traction.
