You can see this in the video, even. The front wheels of the truck are rolling backwards as it's being pulled.
Anyway, the bit about who's being pulled first also interests me; anyone else wondering about the difference of static vs dynamic friction of rubber on pavement?
- adrianmonk 7y agoI'm pretty certain you're right that, as expected, for tires on pavement, static friction is great than dynamic friction. That is certainly what I've observed in my own firsthand experience. Also, as I understand it, it's why anti-lock brakes help a car stop faster. (Though anti-lock brakes also help you retain the ability to steer, which is different but also important.)
