Question

Antilock breaks are important because: The kinetic friction force is greater than the maximal static friction force, so preventing the tire from skidding allows for more stopping force. When the wheels are turning and the car is slowing down, the static friction force is in the forward direction unless the car skids skidding does not provide a static friction force motion against the direction d None of the above is correct.

Answer 1

here,

An anti-lock braking system is a system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking.

The purpose of this is to allow the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking and, in some situations, to shorten braking distances (by allowing the driver to hit the brake fully without skidding or loss of control)

"It automatically re-applies brake pressure under stopping conditions that make wheel lockup likely." But, he adds, ABS adds an advantage. "Unlike someone letting go of the brake pedal and stepping back on it, ABS can do it much faster, sensing impending skids and directing its `modulated braking' to whichever wheel, or wheels, would have locked otherwise

the correct option is c) skidding does not provide a static frictional force against the direction of motion
