Question

true or false: when water collects in roadway cracks, potholes can develop. * 10 points
true
false

a ___ collision produces the greatest force of impact of any collision. * 10 points
side impact
head on
rear end

term for back and forth swerving of the rear of a vehicle. * 10 points
jackknife
fishtailing
blowout

sudden loss of tire air pressure while driving is known as: * 10 points
skid
blowout
jackknife

Explanation:

Analyze pothole formation

Water seeping into roadway cracks freezes and expands, or weakens the subbase under traffic, leading to the collapse of the pavement surface into a pothole.

Evaluate collision impact forces

The force of impact depends on the relative closing speed. A head-on collision involves two vehicles moving directly toward each other, which combines their kinetic energies and produces the greatest force of impact compared to side-impact or rear-end collisions.

Identify rear-vehicle swerving term

Fishtailing is the specific term used to describe the rapid, uncontrolled back-and-forth lateral sliding (swerving) of the rear end of a vehicle.

Define sudden tire pressure loss

A blowout is the sudden, rapid loss of tire inflation pressure while a vehicle is in motion, distinct from a gradual leak or a skid.
