John carried out an experiment to find out how different surfaces (P, Q, R and S) affect the distance a car travelling at 50 km/h needed to stop once the brakes are applied. The results are shown below.

Which type of road will provide the most friction for the car to stop ?
Q
Q provides the most friction for the car to stop as it has the least stopping distance which implies that this surface provides more grip on the wheels of the car.
