While traveling on a wet road, a thin layer of water forms between the tyre and the road surface. This makes the car lose its traction and skid. Once the car loses traction it no longer responds to the steering or braking controls thus causing the car to skid. As the speed of the car increases, the affect of sliding also increases. This is due to the reduction in friction. Skidding also depends on the tire pressure, the amount of tire surface that is in contact with the road and so on. The affect is also known as hydroplaning or aquaplaning.

When a car stops suddenly the passengers tend to move forward relative to their seats Why?
When car was moving, passengers were also moving. When car suddenly stops, the moving passengers try to maintain their state of forward motion because of their inertia. so they move forward relative to their seats...
Which of Newton's laws of motion is demonstrated when a car applies its brakes on an icy surface but the car continues to slide along the surface?
Newton's First Law: objects at rest tend to stay at rest, objects in motion tend to stay in motion. When the brakes are applied, the friction with the road surface is the force that stops the car -- on ice, this friction is greatly reduced.
Why do large round rocks erode faster than rocks with sharp corners?
Its actually more about the composition of the rock than the shape, the rounded rocks tend to be of a softer material such as sandstone, limestone etc which erode quicker and as such form into rounded shapes were harder rocks such as granite are more resistant to erosion and therefore its the softer materials that erode and leave the sharp edges of granite.
Inertia makes a plant tend to travel in a straight line but what keeps it in orbit?
Gravity keeps a planet in orbit. Inertia tries to make the planet move in a straight line. The balance between the two makes the planet orbit a sun.
Why planets not speed away as they revolve around the sun?
The planets maintain their orbit around the sun because of the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planet. All massive objects have an attraction to each other (the force is proportional to the product of the two masses divided by the square of the distance between them). Planets in orbit are in balance between the law of momentum which makes them tend to go in straight line and the gravitational law which makes then tend to accelerate into the sun.
When a motor car makes a sharp turn at a high speed passengers tend to get thrown to one side give reasons?

Why do passenger in a bus tend to fall sideways when it take a sharp turn?
Inertia. Also they don't have shocks that lean into the turn instead of away (like some Cadillac cars do. They took my idea!). An object in motion tends to stay in motion. This has more than one meaning.
Why do passengers tend to fall sideways when the bus takes a sharp u turn?
this is called the centrifugal force.....and force of inertia... The direction the bus was travelling is passed to the passengers. If the bus turns or stops quickly the passenger continues in the direction the bus was moving. Newton Laws of Motion.
Old mountain tend to have?
Old mountains tend to have _____.
How are passengers living examples of Newton's First Law of Motion?
consider passengers in a moving bus. initially when the bus was at rest,the passengers were also at rest with respect to the bus.but when the bus starts moving or accelerating,passengers tend to move backward and finally when the bus stops,the passengers tend to move forward.this is newton's first law.
Do old mountains tend to have sharp peaks?
Yes
Why passengers in bus tend to fall backward when starts suddenly?
Passengers on a bus tend to fall backward when it starts suddenly due to inertia. As the bus accelerates forward, the passengers, who were initially at rest, want to stay at rest due to their inertia. This causes them to lean back or fall backward as the bus moves forward.
When struck with a sharp blow ionic compounds tend to what while metallic substances which are what change shape?
"When struck with a sharp blow, ionic compounds tend to (crack) while metallic substances, which are (covalently bonded), change shape."This makes the most sense. A lot of ionic compounds form salts which are crystalline and brittle in solid form. This is obviously homework but what a terrible question, right down to the punctuation.
What are two properties of acids?
Organic acids tend to have sharp tastes and strong odors.
What are some popular brands of flat panel televisions?
Some popular brands of flat panal televisions include Sharp, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, and Visio. Sharp televisions tend to be the most expensive and Samsung televesions tend to be the cheapest.
The Importance of Slide Phones?
Slide phones come along with a great deal of uses in the office setting. The keyboards and screens found in slide phones tend to be protected, and are perfect for those who aren't necessarily careful with their phones. Slide phones are ideal for both home and office use.
Car makes a noise on start?
