When the road is wet it takes times longer to stop?
Yes. There is less frictional force between the car tyres and a wet road surface than with a dry road surface.
How many feet to stop on wet road?
At 20 miles per hour it takes about 60 feet to stop on wet pavement. At sixty miles per hour it takes at least 300 feet to stop.
Do you need more room to stop on a dirt road or wet road?
yes
Do you need more room to stop on a dirt road then a wet pavement?
More
Is road slippery after a long rain?
Definitely because it's wet so, we must take an extra careful in driving a wet road.
Why are stopping distances for braking cars increased on wet roads?
Stopping distances are increased on wet roads because water reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface, making it harder for the tires to grip and stop the car effectively when the brakes are applied. This reduced grip means it takes longer for the car to come to a complete stop compared to dry road conditions.
As opposed to dry pavement when the roadway is wet it will take your vehicle on average how long to stop?
On wet pavement, it will take your vehicle about twice as long to stop compared to dry pavement. This is due to reduced tire grip and increased distance needed for braking on wet surfaces. Drive cautiously and leave extra space between cars to account for longer stopping distances in wet conditions.
Why is it unwise to suddenly apply the brakes of a car on a wet or icy pavement?
Suddenly applying the brakes on a wet or icy road could cause the wheels to lock. With the wheels locked up it takes longer to stop. Also, locked wheels could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle.
What should you do driving on a wet road?
Slow down from your normal speed. Be prepared to stop safely in emergencies.
What sort of things affect stopping distance when in car?
* The speed that the car is travelling at * Whether the road surface is wet - lessens friction so takes longer to slow down * The reaction time of the driver - the time it takes to process the information of needing to stop and actually doing it
You are driving on a wet motorway with surface spray You should?
Since it takes further to stop on a wet roadway you should slow down and increase your following distance
How long does it take to travel from Birmingham to Lancaster by train?
It takes as long as it takes to wipe your bum crack yeah after wet slippery carrot poo
