When you slide on a wet road surface you are aquaplaning, also known as hydroplaning.

What does the stain on a wet mount slide do?
Wet mounts don't typically use stains.
Contrast a prepared slide and a wet-mount slide?
A prepared slide is sealed by acrylic or any other medium. After the solvent evaporates, the specimen is locked under the slip. On the other hand, a wet mount slide has the specimen prepared just before it is put under microscope.
What Slide mount is used for viewing an Elodea leaf?
a wet mount
When observing a slide should the specimen be on the top or bottom surface of the microscope?
A specimen should be on the top surface of the slide and place a cover-slip over it.
What is a wet-mount slide?
First, put an image in the center of the slide. Add on drop of water to the slide then put on the cover piece. Take it over to the microscope then use the stage clips to hold it down. Look through the eyepiece and then you will see a magnified image or cell organisms living in the water.
Why is a wet surface is a better reflector when it is wet?
because the rough surface is wet and a road is not :)
Explanation why a car going around a bend wet road tend to slide off the road?
The damp road surface, plus the momentum of the car's weight going round a bend, could cause a loss of friction, resulting in a slide.
When the road is wet it takes times longer to stop?
Yes. There is less frictional force between the car tyres and a wet road surface than with a dry road surface.
What type of road surface would be safest In wet conditions?
gravel
What type of road surface would be safest if in wet conditions?
gravel
Why do you have tread on wheels?
To grip the road surface. You need tread especially in wet conditions.
You are likely to slide on a shiny floor.why?
Some of us slide on a shiny floor because there is less. Friction on a smooth surface are a car travels faster on a smooth road. Than a rough road.
How does wet roads help racing cars?
It doesn't wet roads take traction away from racing cars. Race cars are fastest with slick tires, when the road is wet it forces them to use threaded tires to dissplace the water. If the racers want to slide easily around corners that the wet road would be helpful
What is a inclined plane and example?
An example of an inclined plane is a ramp, slanted road, or a slide. An inclined plane is a surface that is at an angle against a horizontal surface.
When a car skids on a wet road its called?
The technical term is 'aquaplaning' or "hydroplaning".It happens because a thin film of water lifts the car's tyres off the road surface - and the vehicle loses its grip on the tarmac.
Why does a distant patch of road appear to be wet on a hot summer day?
A distant patch of road can appear wet on a hot summer day due to the heat rising from the heat road surface. It refracts (move, bend, or deflect) the image of the road in a wavy manner creating the illusion of water.
Why are stopping distances for breaking cars increased on wet roads?
The wet road surface has less friction as the water interacts with the rubber and acts somewhat like a lubricant
