Why is it hard to stop a car when the road is slippery based on physics?

Question

answer this question based in science and physics...

Answer 1

The friction between the tires and the road is not as good when conditions are slippery.  Bare pavement and bare tires make the best friction to slow down the vehicle.  Even a miniscule amount of liquid decreases that friction quite a bit.

Answer 2

With the momentum of the car working against the friction of the brakes of the tires and the tires on the road a car would eventually come to a stop.  However, if there is a lack of friction between the tires and the road, then it would be harder to stop the car's momentum on a slippery road.   Not enough friction to create traction to stop the car.

Answer 3

to stop the car you need a force opposite to the pushing force of the engine.this force is being produced by pushing the brakes.when pushing the brakes a friction force is produced between the tyres and the road.this force of friction is directly proportional to the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road.the wet road reduces this coefficient of friction, which causes the force of friction to be small, which results in a longer stopping distance.

Answer 4

The frictional resistance is lower on a wet surface. Liquids have lower friction than the asphalt roads. On mostly any road the surface is rough, but if you put some liquid on the surface the liquid fill up the cracks on the surface and make it plane. Then there is no chance for the tire to get a grip on the surface and it just slide longer.

Hope the answer is clear enough.

Answer 5

i think the words they are looking for is that the

"coefficient of friction is reduced when wet".

Answer 6

it is so because movement totally depends on friction.friction gives an opposite force to motion taking in a place.by newton first law  and galileo marble experiment it has been  found that on a slippery or frictionless plane resistance to motion is  negligible.hence your answer has been figured out

Answer 7

The coefficient of friction is lower, reducing the stopping force. On a wet surface, the tires don't actually touch the road surface, but glide on a thin film of water, hydroplaning.

Answer 8

Newtons first law a body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. When the road becomes slippery the coefficient of friction is greatly reduced therefore the frictional force is less which inturns makes it harder to stop.

Answer 9

Because the road is lubricated, and there isn't so much friction between the road and the tires

Answer 10

lower traction between tires and the road
