When does friction in a car becomes positive?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of friction in vehicles, specifically questioning when friction becomes "positive" on different surfaces such as dry, wet, and icy conditions. It is established that the terms "positive" and "negative" in relation to friction are arbitrary and depend on the chosen coordinate system. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the coordinate axis setup to clarify misconceptions about frictional forces. For further clarity, it is recommended to consult relevant tutorials on the topic.
