Yes. There is less frictional force between the car tyres and a wet road surface than with a dry road surface.

What sort of things affect stopping distance when in car?
* The speed that the car is travelling at * Whether the road surface is wet - lessens friction so takes longer to slow down * The reaction time of the driver - the time it takes to process the information of needing to stop and actually doing it
How much times does 4 go into 113?

If you spin a spinner 400 times about how many times would yu expect it to stop on a vowel?
250
About how many feet does a car going 70 mph travel before it comes to a stop?
It takes a car 387 feet to come to complete stop when going 70mph.
How do you divide with decimal and the bus stop method?
you times 1 and 2 and then you times and divide the two numbers from the bus stop method and then you round it too the nearest hundred and divide by 10 and you have your awnser:)
When the road is wet it takes how long to stop?
Longer. How much longer depends on several things ( tire tread, amount of water, turning, etc. ).
When driving on a wet or slippery road it can take at least two to three times longer than it would on a dry road?
To stop? Absolutely, in fact up to five times longer in some conditions. To travel from one place to another? Again, yes, if you are driving safely.
Why does a moving truck takes a much longer time to stop than that taken by a car when brakes are applied on both?
The reason that it takes a moving truck a much longer time to stop than it takes a car to stop when the brakes are applied on both is because the truck weighs more. The more mass a vehicle has the longer it will take to stop.

When traveling downhill it takes longer to stop?
YES!
When driving on rural roadways at higher speed you need a longer stopping distance?
Stopping distance is always relative to driving speed. The faster you go, the longer it takes you to stop. And if the road surface is wet or icy it will take even longer to stop. That means you also have to give yourself more space behind other vehicles.
A truck takes what percent longer to stop than a car?
75
Why does a moving ship take longer time to stop than taken by a car when brakes are applied to both?
Ship doesn't have brakes, it has to use reverse! But in any case, the reason a ship takes longer to stop than a car is that is has more momentum. Think of momentum as something that tells you how hard it will be to stop an object. More momentum means it will be harder to stop. Momentum is equal to the mass of the object times it velocity or speed. So a ship has a lot more mass that a car and takes longer to stop.
How much longer does it take to stop in the rain?
It can take up to three times longer to stop a vehicle in wet conditions.
What is the purpose of staggered stop lines?
Some roads which have two lanes have staggered stop lines where the road meets another road. Often it will be the outer lane that has its stop line set back from the stop line of the inner lane. This is done where road widths are too restrictive for longer vehicles to easily turn into the two-laned road. With the outer lane's 'stop line' set back it gives better opportunity for longer vehicles to turn into that road without having to worry about hitting the vehicle that is stopped at the stop line, because it will be set back a bit.
Why does an automatic with ABS take longer to stop when braking?
The wheels do not lock up with abs. This gives you more control to steer the vehicle out of danger but it takes longer to stop.
How many feet to stop on wet road?
At 20 miles per hour it takes about 60 feet to stop on wet pavement. At sixty miles per hour it takes at least 300 feet to stop.
