Question
fill in the blank 1 point hydroplaning (car skidding because of a wet or slippery surface) choose your answer... choose your answer... rolling friction static friction sliding friction fluid friction
Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water (a fluid) separates the tire from the road surface, reducing the friction between them. Fluid friction acts between layers of fluid or between a fluid and a solid surface. In this case, the water (fluid) causes the car to skid as the normal contact friction (which could be rolling friction under normal dry conditions) is replaced by the less - effective fluid friction. Rolling friction is when an object rolls over a surface (like a tire on a dry road), static friction is the friction that prevents a stationary object from starting to move, and sliding friction is when two surfaces slide over each other (e.g., a block sliding on a table). But hydroplaning is specifically related to the presence of a fluid (water) causing the skid.
