Wheels often have rubber tires on them. this kind of rubber was formulated to catch the peak amount of grip for any terrains, but when its too icy the cars often loose grip and cause the tire to slide.

Can you explain the motion of a car as the wheels spin?
As the wheels of a car spin, they create a force that propels the car forward. This force is generated by the friction between the tires and the road, which allows the car to move in the direction the wheels are turning. The motion of the car is determined by the speed and direction of the wheel rotation, as well as external factors such as terrain and road conditions.
It is often recommended that motorists carry a heavy bag of sand in the trunk of their car when driving on slippery roads Use the concept of friction to explain why this would be helpful?
Carrying a heavy bag of sand in the trunk provides extra weight over the rear wheels of the car, increasing the friction between the tires and the road. This increased friction helps improve traction and stability, making it easier for the car to grip the road surface and maintain control on slippery roads.
Why is friction necessary to make a car move?
Because if there is no friction between the wheels and the asphalt the car would simply spin out. Unable to move at all on a friction-less surface. In fact, it's so important racecars have upsidedown wings to push the car into the ground to get better friction. Which when we're talking about car wheels is also called traction.
Why doesnt a car move when stuck in mud?
When a car gets stuck in the mud, two things are at work. First of all the mud is very slick. The tires of the car have no traction and simply spin helplessly trying to move the heavy weight of the car. Secondly, mud, if it is deep, has suction. It literally sucks the car's tires, holding the car in the mud. Combine this with mud's slickness and your car is literally stuck.
Name 7 different things that turn or rotate?
-- The steering wheel inside my car -- The hour-hand and minute-hand on the car's clock -- The car's four outside wheels
Why could cars not move without friction?
When the wheels of a car turn, friction causes the wheels to push back on the road, which in turn causes the road to push the car forward. Without friction the wheels would just spin in place. You can sometimes see this occur on icy roads, where there is very little friction.
Why does a car move forward while traveling on a road even though its wheels are equipped to spin backwards?
The wheels only appear to spin backwards.
What causes car to slide on slick roads?
The slick roads do not provide enough friction to the wheels to turn. Thus, the car slides.
Why does a car move forward while traveling on a road even though it's wheels are equipped to spin backward?
The wheels only appear to spin backwards.

What is the differential do?
it allows the wheels spin at different rates to allow a car to turn
How does a Jaguar car move?
by using gas to make wheels spin in circles
What has four wheels and a steering wheel and drives on roads?
An average car or pickup.
Why the back wheel of a rear wheel drive can be rotated separately?
For the drive wheels on most cars - the rear wheels on a rear-wheel drive car, or the front wheels on a front-wheel drive car. There is a "limited slip differental", a set of gears connected to the driveshaft and axles. For the non-driven wheels on your car -- the front wheels on a rear-wheel drive car, the back wheels on a front-wheel drive car -- this is not an issue. There is no connection between them, so they spin independently. But the driven wheels are linked together so that a single engine and transmission can turn both wheels. If your car did not have a differential, the wheels would have to be locked together, forced to spin at the same speed. This would make turning difficult and hard on your car: For the car to be able to turn, one tire would have to slip. With modern tires and concrete roads, a great deal of force is required to make a tire slip. That force would have to be transmitted through the axle from one wheel to another.
What are good front wheels for a mousetrap car?
the best wheels for your mousetrap car are CD's because when your car takes off the wheels will spin and send your car into a foward rolling motion also the CD's are light soo it will help you win your science award:)
How does the gas burning in a car make the wheels move?
Sends fuel injections into the engines there for running the chains, and the motor it makes the wheels spin, Thus making the car move.
What is the apparatus fixed to the wheels of a car to lesson the effects of rough roads?
suspension or steering wheel
