I have been driving for over 67 years and have never hydroplaned. When most people refer to hydroplaning they actually mean one of two situations. If there has been no rain for a while, little bits of motor oil and grease dripped on asphalt will sink below the surface. A heavy rain will float this to the surface and tires will atually be riding on a surface of petroleum - "petro-planing", which is very slippery. The second situation called hydroplaning is when on side of the car is in deeper water than the other as during a rain storm or when water beside the road spills onto the surface. This will cause the car to jerk to one side in what I will call "hydro-vacuuming." If you quickly lift a flat-bottomed glass off a wet counter top you will feel the vacuum holding it down. The side of the car in deeper water will have more vacuum applied.
Is it true that semi trucks cannot hydroplane because of their weight and the high PSI in their tires sure they can slide on the water but can they actually get above the water
What if the water is only on one side? Like the water that has backed up and pooled from blocked or insufficient drainage? In other words can less that 4 tires hydroplane? Asking for a friend😅
There is likely many variables that contribute to give a large range of speeds that cause aquaplaning. For example the amount of grip on the tire and perhaps the depth of the water could be factors that influence whether or not aquaplaning happens
In round numbers, if the water is deeper than your tire tread depth, the speed at which you will hydroplane is the square root of your tire pressure X 10.
Yes it is. Friction is found by multiplying the coefficient of friction by the normal force of the object in question. Since the coefficient of friction does not possess a unit and is a ratio, the only unit you are left with is that of normal force, the Newton. Thus friction is measured in Newtons(kg×m/s^2), thus making it a force.

Slick!

anything can hydroplane if fast enough, it doesn’t take much water under the wheels to start hydroplaning
What if the water is only on one side? Like the water that has backed up and pooled from blocked or insufficient drainage? In other words can less that 4 tires hydroplane? Asking for a friend😅
I think you’ll be fine if only 2 wheels are on the water cause your other 2 wheels are still connected to the ground
Too fast... is that 45,55,65 how fast is too fast?

friction isn't a force
Yes it is. Friction is found by multiplying the coefficient of friction by the normal force of the object in question. Since the coefficient of friction does not possess a unit and is a ratio, the only unit you are left with is that of normal force, the Newton. Thus friction is measured in Newtons(kg×m/s^2), thus making it a force.
Friction is counted as a vector in the opposite direction, so I'd say it's a force. Did you take physics ?
