You are driving on a slippery road, in a car that does not have anti-lock brakes (abs). if your car starts to skid sideways when you step on the brake, you should a. continue pressing firmly on the brake, and steer in the direction you want to go. b. quickly apply the parking brake to try to straighten the car. c. then release the parking brake, and push gently on the brake pedal. d. take your foot off the brake, unless you are about to hit something. e. steer in the direction of the skid to straighten your car. then brake gently.

The correct answers are D) Take your foot off the brake, unless you are about to hit something, and E) Steer in the direction of the skid to straighten your car. Then brake gently.

You are driving on a slippery road, in a car that does not have Anti-lock Brakes (ABS). If your car starts to skid sideways when you step on the brake, you should take your foot off the brake, unless you are about to hit something and steer in the direction of the skid to straighten your car. Then brake gently.

When driving under these conditions with no ABS brakes it is not recommended to hit the brakes precisely for the slippery conditions that can cause an accident or getting you out of the road. Although the first impulse would be trying to stop the car, you better take your foot off the break and try to straighten the car, try to steer in the direction of the skid and watching the road for more vehicles, start to brake gently. This is the general recommendation to avoid accidents.

The other options of the question were A) Continue pressing firmly on the brake, and steer in the direction you want to go, B) Quickly apply the parking brake to try to straighten the car, and C) Then release the parking brake, and push gently on the brake pedal. 

double the distance = divide strength by 4

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
