How does friction affect the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface road conditions including skidding braking force braking distance thinking distance and stopping distance?
Tyre surface: If the tyre is new, it will have surface with depressions which will offer more friction compared to old tyre whose surface-depressions are worn out and it is more flat, so it offers less friction. Therefore, new tyre will have less stopping distance, as force of friction is more. Thinking distance is affected neither by friction between tyre and road, nor by friction between brake and tyre. If road has a wet surface, it has less friction so the vehicle will skid farther, and vice versa. The braking force, i.e, friction between tyre and brake is unaffected by road condition or tyre surface. Hence the distance the vehicle travels WHILE retarding due to "braking force", is not same as stopping distance, because even when the wheels are stopped rotating due to braking force, the car will skid a little distance- this total distance is the stopping distance.
What determines the stopping distance?
Stopping distance as in braking distance: Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point where the brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is affected by the original speed of the vehicle, the type of brake system in use, the reaction time of the driver/rider and the cefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface.
What affects breaking distance?
Several factors can affect braking distance in a motor vehicle.Speed, the faster you are travelling means a longer braking distance.Drivers reaction time, the road surface, efficiency of the brakes, efficiency of the tyres, and any combination of these factors.
Why does a car slide when braking?
A car slides when braking because the friction between the tires and the road decreases, causing the tires to lose grip and skid. This can happen if the brakes are applied too forcefully or if the road surface is slippery.
Why do cars slide when braking?
Cars slide when braking because the friction between the tires and the road is not enough to stop the car's momentum. This lack of friction causes the tires to lose traction and slide instead of gripping the road surface.
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
Is braking distance greater on a smooth road?
Yes
Why is the braking distance longer when the tires are worn out?
Smooth tyres have less frictional grip on the road surface, and will slide further that a deep tread tyre.

Why factors affect your braking distance?
Hand-eye coordination, thinking distance, drunkenness, tiredness, if your on drugs, if your listening to music/being distracted. Thats just about it Also speed and road conditions affect braking distance
How can you increase braking distance?
By reducing the coefficient of friction between the brakes and the wheel OR between the road and the wheels.
How long does it take a car traveling 40 mph to come to a complete stop?
For a car with good brakes and a length of 4m, a dry road with a driver with average reaction time it will take approximately 36m/118 feet/nine car lengths for it to stop. This can be divided up into two sections the thinking distance/reaction distance of 12m and a braking distance of 24m. Like the previous answer stated the braking distance can be changed depending on the road surface type and weather conditions or if the car is fitted with an Anti-lock Braking System Thinking distance can be increased by drinking alcohol or taking some types of drugs.
Why does a car slide when braking?
A car slides when braking because the friction between the tires and the road decreases, causing the tires to lose grip and skid. This can happen if the brakes are applied too forcefully or if the road surface is slippery.
To slide on a wet road surface?
When driving on a wet road surface, it's important to reduce your speed and avoid sudden movements such as braking or accelerating abruptly. Drive in the tracks of the car ahead to avoid hydroplaning, and maintain a safe following distance. In the event of a slide, steer gently in the direction you want to go without overcorrecting.
Why is engine braking prohibited in certain areas or on specific roads?
Engine braking, also known as compression braking, is prohibited in certain areas or on specific roads to reduce noise pollution and minimize wear and tear on the road surface. The loud noise produced by engine braking can disturb residents and wildlife in quiet areas, while the repeated use of this technique can cause damage to the road surface over time.
