Question

The statement given below is incorrect. Write the correct statement.

The tires of vehicles are provided with deep grooves so as to decrease friction between the road and the tires.

Answer 1

1. Friction between the tires and the road is very important for the safe driving of the vehicle.
2. The tires of the vehicle are provided with deep grooves to increase the friction between the tire and the road.
3. In the case of moisture on the road, the deep grooves hold the moisture between the grooves, enabling the least interaction of moisture with the tires.
4. Due to the least interaction of the moisture with the tire surface, the frictional force is increased.
5. In the case of loose soil, the deep grooves hold the soil between the grooves which increases the friction and gives proper grip to the tires.
6. Thus, the given statement is incorrect.

Correct statement: The tires of vehicles are provided with deep grooves so as to increase friction between the road and the tires.
