JEE — Friction ConceptualHardQuestion 30266

Question

A car is moving on a level road and the driver suddenly brakes without skidding (ABS system). The friction acting on the tyres is:
  1. A
    Zero
  2. B
    Kinetic friction
  3. C
    Static friction
    Correct
  4. D
    Rolling friction

Correct answer

Static friction

Explanation

When braking without skidding, tyres don't slide on the road — the contact point is momentarily at rest. Static friction provides the braking force.
