How is traction different from other types of friction?

Traction is the friction between an object and a surface that allows the object to move without slipping. Other types of friction, such as static and kinetic friction, relate to the resistance encountered when trying to move an object along a surface or when trying to stop an object from moving. Traction specifically refers to the grip or adhesion between the object and the surface.


What types of skid occur when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?

When brakes are applied too hard and wheels lose traction, two main types of skids can occur: front-wheel skid and rear-wheel skid. A front-wheel skid happens when the front wheels lose grip, causing the vehicle to slide straight ahead, often leading to understeering. In contrast, a rear-wheel skid occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteering, where the rear of the vehicle swings out. Both types can compromise vehicle control and increase the risk of accidents.


Why does your 2001 ford ranger squeal when you accelerate?

I do not know what you mean by squeal. There are two types. One involves the fan belt. It either needs adjusting or replacing. The other involves the tires. If you accelerate by putting the pedal to the metal, you are losing traction and actually going slower than if you kept traction. You are also burning up your tires.
