What happens to the braking distance on snow and ice compared with dry asphalt?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. It becomes several times longer
- Step 1: Low friction on snow and ice greatly increases the distance needed to stop. Answer: It becomes several times longer. Why not the others: It is the same, It becomes shorter and It is halved don't fit.
