A vehicle traveling on wet or slick roads can begin to _________ as water forms a barrier between the road and the tires and tra
ction is lost as the wheels start to ride on top of the water and not the road surface. a) skid b) hydroplane c) lose traction d) splash water on to the engine
Explanation: The term hydroplane can be used to refer to a condition which usually occur during a downpour or on surfaces covered by water. It occurs when water forms a barrier or comes in between the frictional grip which occurs between the road surface and the car tyres. The contact between the car tyres and the road surface is supposed to give adequate frictional support which prevents the car from skidding or skidding uncontrollably on the road surface. However, when water comes invetween the surface, traction is lost and skidding results due to very low Coefficient of friction between the road and Tyre which was supposed to provide a firm grip between the tyres and the road surface.
it is also found under the name IR lights. although it’s technically invisible, it can still be seen with machinery up to at least 1050 nm in experiments.
