Today I've come across the statement that the coefficient of static friction of rubber tires on asphalt is bigger than that of tires on concrete. Does it mean that the maximal acceleration a car can attain on asphalt will be greater than that on concrete?
My assumptions: 1)The force of friction is the force that "drives" the car forward
2) Asphalt gets deflected under the wheels more than concrete does
