A. backward on the front tires and forward on the rear tires.
B. forward on the front tires and backward on the rear tires.
C. forward on all tires.
D. backward on all tires.
E. zero.
参考答案: A
本题详细解析:
The rear tires are the "drive" tires.

By Newton's third law, the road exerts a *forward* static friction force on the rear tires, which accelerates the car.
The front tires are passive. As the car accelerates forward, the front tires are "pushed" iw/sq0zau ) il 6s cfeyfils85h1yqz+.72o*x pnto rolling.
The road exerts a small *backward* frictional force (rolling friction, or static friction opposing the change in rotation) on them.
