Why is it to stop a car on a wet road?

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.


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.
