I've recently brought a physics book, and in it are some questions, which go throughout different chapters. at the moment i am on Newton's first law of motion.
I looked at one of the questions on it and it asks
" Explain how a car can skid on a icy road?"
I remember reading in the book that when force of the tyre is on the ice it has no direction, the car tyre won't stop skidding, but when it comes to a rough surface, the tyre will stop skidding because the surface is giving force back at an equal and oppsoite force from each other, making the car stop skidding.
I have a feeling i have included a bit of Newton's second law of motion if i am correct that is?
thanks
