What is the definition of traction?

  1. The tire that grips the road

  2. Energy of motion

  3. Green light that has been there for awhile

  4. Force with which one moving object hits another

The correct answer is: The tire that grips the road

Traction is defined as the grip or adhesion of a tire on the road surface. It is crucial for safe driving as it allows the vehicle to accelerate, brake, and corner effectively. Option A correctly defines traction as the tire that grips the road. Option B, energy of motion, is not the definition of traction. Option C, green light that has been there for a while, is irrelevant and does not define traction. Option D, force with which one moving object hits another, is not related to the definition of traction.
