A

thinking distance + braking distance

22
Q

What factors affect thinking distance?

A

Drugs, alcohol, tiredness

23
Q

What factors affect stopping distance?

A

Road surface, wet or icy roads, worn tyres, worn brakes

24
Q

Which factor affect both thinking and stopping distance?

25
What is the thinking distance for a car travelling at 45m/s with a driver whose reaction time is 0.2 seconds?
9m
26
What is meant by regenerative braking?
A system which converts the movement energy into electricity.
27
If an object has no resultant force on it what happens to it's motion?
If it is still, it will stay still. If it is moving it will continue at a steady speed in a straight line.
