What prevents a car wheel from slipping as it rolls on the ground?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Static friction
💡 Explanation:
Yes, it is correct. Static friction is the force that prevents a car wheel from slipping as it rolls on the ground. Even though the wheel is in motion, the patch of the tyre in contact with the ground is stationary relative to the ground, so it is static rather than kinetic friction.
