Question

The graph below shows the distance traveled by the skateboarder on each of the different road conditions. Using the graph, determine which of the roads was dry, wet, or muddy. Explain your answer using complete sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

Road A- dry

Road B- mud

Road C- wet

Explanation:

Surface conditions do affect the ease and speed with which a skateboarder can move, on a muddy surface, the tyres of the skate boards finds it difficult to establish adequate fictional force between the skates trees and the traveling surface. Hence, the muddy surface presents a very slippery travel ground for the skate, hence leading the to skateboarder needing to apply caution.

The speed on a wet surfave is height as the amount of firece that will be applied in other to accelerate is very small. The surface is wet and hence serves as a lubricant between the contact surface.

The dry road also has a high speed but lower than a wet surface, frictional force is high here and this tend to slow the skateboarder down except in sloppy terrains.
