?
How does the mass of a vehicle affect thinking distance?
Not at all
1 of 12
What is stopping distance?
thinking distance +braking distance
2 of 12
what is thinking distance?
the distance a car travels while the driver reacts to the danger and applies the breaks
3 of 12
how does the mass of a vehicle affect stopping distance?
increases braking distance
4 of 12
How doesn't the speed of a vehicle affect stopping distance?
decreases thinking distance
5 of 12
How may a driver's reaction time be affected?
if a driver is on drugs or drunk or tired it will increase
6 of 12
how may reaction time affect stopping distance?
if slow it may increase thinking distance
7 of 12
If a car had a stopping distance of 10 seconds and a braking distance of 7 seconds, what is the thinking distance?
0 seconds
8 of 12
What is braking distance?
the distance a car travels while slowing down
9 of 12
How may a vehicle with a high mass affect braking distance?
It increases as it takes more force to stop a vehicle with a higher mass
10 of 12
What may a slippery road do to braking distance?
Increase
