Question

During a science experiment, Maya and Liam are testing different types of tires on toy cars to see which one provides the most tractions on a smooth surface. They want to maximize friction between the tired and the ground. Which of the following scenarios produces the most friction between the tired and the ground?
A. a car with a lighter weight using tired with deeper treads.
B a car with a lighter weight using tires with shallow treads.
C a car with heavier weight using tires with shallow treads
D a car with a heavier weight using tired with deep treads

D. a car with a heavier weight using tires with deep treads

The friction between the tires and the ground is dependent on the weight pressing down on the tires as well as the surface area of the tires in contact with the ground. In this case, a heavier weight pressing down on tires with deep treads will maximize the friction between the tires and the ground.
