Traction is the friction between a drive wheel and the road surface. If you lose traction, you lose
road grip. Now you know that it all comes down to friction. You also realize that traction as such
cannot be increased by way of electronic systems. Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly
smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more
friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes
the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.
Don't use your phone while driving
Use the seatbelt when driving
Do not drink while driving
Do not drive after drinking
Keep safe while driving and slow down.
Using your seatbelt is much safer just in case of any accidents. Using your phone while driving,
do not use the phone while driving the phone can easily get your attention and there is a chance
that you will get in an accident. being drunk while driving can cause more accidents. slowing
down while driving can keep away from accidents.

A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a
straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force. Inertia is the resistance of any
physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed or
direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a
straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them. Inertia comes from the Latin
word iners, meaning idle, sluggish. Inertia is one of the primary manifestations of mass, which is
a quantitative property of physical systems. Isaac Newton defined inertia as his first law in his
Philosophic Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which states.
In the case of the Coin Drop activity, the coin is at rest sitting on top of the card. Watch it as long
as you like but, on its own, the coin will not move from that spot. When you flick the card out
from under the coin, you allow gravity an outside force to act on it and drop it into the glass. The
bottom of the glass stops the coin from falling. However, if the coin were a lot heavier had more
mass and were falling much faster, it could go right through the glass and probably the table
supporting it, too.
