Why do vehicle tires experience a loss of traction, and slip during a rainy day on a wet road? a) Because during rainy day efficiency of the engine drops effectively b) Because during rainy day roads are normally wet and this reduces friction between car and vehicle. c) Because during rainy day roads are normally wet and this increases friction between car and vehicle and hence, we experience loss of traction and vehicle slips. Choose one of the following

CONCEPT:
Friction Force: It is a kind of resisting force that acts between two contact bodies to avoid relative motion between them.
- It is formed due to the close interaction of charged particles at the surface of the bodies due to electromagnetic forces.
- Mathematically it is represented as Friction force = μ N.
- Where N = normal force = m × g
- Normal force: It is a force that is exerted by the surface perpendicular to the body. It is a component of the contact force.

Explanation:
During rainy days because of the presence of water on the road the coefficient of friction between road and tires of the vehicle decreases rapidly.
Because of this vehicle tires experience a loss of traction, and slip and cause major accidents
To prevents this, tires company provide special groves in their type which help the vehicle drive safely
