Forces And Braking

Question 1

What is the stopping distance?

Answer 1

Total distance over which car comes to rest

Question 2

Thinking distance?

Answer 2

Distance travelled while reacting

Question 3

Braking distance?

Answer 3

Distance travelled between a point at which brakes are applied and point at which car comes to rest

Question 4

What is the equation?

Answer 4

Stopping=Thinking+Braking

Question 5

What is the average reaction time?

Answer 5

0.7 s

Question 6

What are factors affecting reaction time?

Answer 6

Tiredness
Distractions
Alcohol consumption
Drugs

Question 7

What is the relationship between thinking distance and speed, braking distance and speed?

Answer 7

Directly proportional
Breaking distance is directly proportional to Speed2

Question 8

What are factors affecting breaking distance?

Answer 8

Conditiones of its breaks and tyres
Type of road surface
Weather conditions
Size of the the braking force

Question 9

When breaks are used, desctlribe what happens?

Answer 9

Break pads use friction on the brake disc to convert kinetic energy into heat energy in the breaks
