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.

What is the first thing that should be done when a car starts to skid?

If a person's car starts to skid on a road, turn the wheel in the direction of the skid. If the car is a front wheel drive, step on the gas pedal slightly. Real wheel drive vehicles require the operator to let off the gas pedal during the skid. Do not panic and slam on the brakes because this could cause the car to roll over when it gains traction.


What is a counter skid?

When a car skids, the rear end of the car is coming around, a counter skid is when you counter that first skid in an attempt to correct the skid.


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 fast is a car going to leave a skid mark of 100 feet?

Most cars these days have ABS (Antilock Brake System) and they won't leave a skid mark. The speed will be determined by drag from road surface and how efficient the brakes were working. A 100 foot skid on average would be from a speed of 45-50mph on asphalt.


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.
