What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the relationship between skid length and the initial velocity of a car help answer this theorotically not in formula thnkx?
In a car the maximum acceleration (deceleration) caused by breaks is about 1 g. Thus the faster the initial speed, then the greater the time AND distance needed to come to a stop will be required.
What road surface has longest braking distance?
A road surface with loose gravel or sand tends to have the longest braking distance due to the reduced tire traction. When braking on loose surfaces, vehicles are more likely to skid before coming to a complete stop, increasing the distance required to brake.
Why does my car skid when I brake, and what can I do to prevent it?
Your car skids when you brake because the tires lose traction with the road surface. To prevent skidding, you can maintain proper tire pressure, drive at a safe speed, and avoid sudden or hard braking. Additionally, consider taking a defensive driving course to improve your skills in handling emergency situations.
Give you an example in which acceleration is against the direction of motion?
When a car is moving forward and the driver suddenly applies the brakes to stop, the car's acceleration is against the direction of motion. This is because the acceleration due to braking acts in the opposite direction of the car's velocity, causing it to slow down.
What should you do if a car starts to skid?
Ease off the gas pedal, stop braking, and steer in the direction of the skid.
What are the Advantages of the ABS braking system?
You dont skid so you can control the car while stopping
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.
Function of the Anti-lock Braking system found in some cars?
I think its so that the car doesn't skid on icy raods
What is a power skid?
In the context of operating a motor vehicle, a power skid is what results when a driver presses down too hard and suddenly on the accelerator. A simple skid is when someone losses control over the direction in which their car is moving.
What should you do if you start to skid?
Ease off the gas pedal, stop braking, and steer in the direction of the skid.
To recover from a skid you should?
If you get into a skid you should: ease off the gas pedal, stop braking, and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid....
What to do when to regain control your vehicle involves in a skid?
FRONT WHEEL SKIDIf your car enters a front-wheel skid, ease off the accelerator. If you are driving a car with manual transmission, depress the clutch. With your eyes focused on your "target", try to steer the car back on course. If you don't regain control of the car within 2-3 seconds, THEN depress the brake lightly. If your car doesn't have anti-lock (ABS) brakes, pump the brakes lightly.Braking will help to transfer power to the front of the car; braking too suddenly, however, can cause the wheels to lock, which will make the skid worse.REAR WHEEL SKIDYou want to turn JUST ENOUGH to straighten out the car, i.e. bring the front wheels back in line with the rear wheels.As you turn, slowly ease off the accelerator. Avoid the temptation to brake suddenly.
What is the past tense of skid?
The past tense of skid is skidded. Your car may skid in the rain. My car skidded across the intersection.
What is threshold breaking?
its how racing drivers break. rather than pump the breaks to stop the car skidding you keep the breaks on all the time but lift off gently as soon as the car starts to skid but then rebreak as soon as the skid stops,,the idea is to keep the wheels rolling the whole time but be on the verge of a skid the whole time,IE you keep the car on the threshold of a skid. its mainly used by racing drivers as its very hard to master,however once you do master it you will outbreak anyone. its also known as limit breaking.
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.
How many decibels does a car skid generate?
This would be highly dependent on: - type and size of tires (coefficient of friction, sidewall flex) - weather (wet, dry, warm cold) - road surface (gravel, smooth asphalt , rough asphalt, concrete) - weight of the car/truck - angle of the skid - speed of the skid - speed of the tires while skidding (braking, accelerating in relation to surface speed)
