Assessment: JAMB UTME - Physics - 2021 Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

When the breaks in a car are applied, the frictional force on the tyres is?
Answer Details
When the brakes in a car are applied, the frictional force on the tires is in the opposite direction of the motion of the car. This frictional force slows down the car and eventually brings it to a stop. So, the frictional force on the tires during braking is an advantage because it helps stop the car. Therefore, the answer is: an advantage because it is in the opposite direction of the motion of the car.
