What kind of skids occurs when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?
For rear drive cars - it's called a fishtail. You brakes work better on the front. Anybody who sailed over the handlebars when braking just the front wheel on a bike is called a head plant, (ouch)
All vehicles carrying passengers for hire all buses carrying passengers and all vehicles carrying explosives or flammable liquids must always stop no closer than and no farther than from railroad trac?

What is difference between skid and slip in relation to aircraft?
When brakes partially applied, or works the air craft slips forward, when brakes are applied fully and anti skid detector fails the air craft skids.
What are examples of sliding friction and static friction?
Static: A cars wheels (while car and wheels are stopped, or while car is moving and wheels are rolling), a doorstop, a rock on a hill (not sliding down) and the force keeping a nail in some wood. Sliding: A cars wheels (during burnouts or when brakes are applied too hard and the car skids), dragging a computer mouse along a table, Ice skaters blades and a drink slid down the bar to you.
What is power slide?
When a vehicle loses traction or skids in a lateral direction due to the power of the engine.

Do maglev trains have wheels?
No. Just resting skids for when there is no (electrical) power.
What kind of friction is acting on the wheels when a car skids on ice?
cold friction
How many wheels in helicopter?
Different helicopters have different landing gear. some just have skids, some have 3 wheels, some have 4.
What do anti-lock braking systems prevent when used in an emergancy stopping situation?
They will prevent brake lock up and a skid.ABS would stop the wheels from locking up. Generally if the brakes are pressed hard (without ABS), the tires will lock preventing you from getting any friction on low friction surfaces and making it difficult to drive on any surface. In ice or rain, ABS are especially useful.Anti-lock breaks are designed to prevent wheels from skidding, or lossing traction in the case of an emergency stop.It prevents the tires from locking up.Anti-lock brake systems prevent the car tires from locking and skidding. Once a skid starts, it becomes more difficult to stop the vehicle. Also, skids can cause the car to move sideways into other cars.
Do gliders have landing wheels?
Yes, usually. Most gliders have one or two wheels under the fuselage and a skid on each wingtip. However, some older and/or smaller gliders may have only skids.
How many wheels does a helicopter have?
They may have none, or 3 or 4, or even more, depending on the type of helicopter. Some (such as jet commuter helicopters, or the Mi24 Hind) have a simple tricycle arrangement of 3: one nose wheel and one on each "leg". Larger ones may have 2 at the main struts and even at the nose gear. The AH-64 Apache reverses this arrangement with 2 main wheels and a small tail wheel. Some helicopters do not have wheels but have skids. Some have small wheels built into the skids to make moving them easier. The AH-1 Cobra and some early police patrol helicopters had skids. Large military helicopters such as the CH-47 Chinook have 4 or 6 (2 double front wheels) built into the undercarriage.
