stopping distance and thinking distance Flashcards
1
Q
what is the equation for stopping distance?
A
thinking distance + breaking distance
2
Q
what is the thinking distance?
A
Thinking distance is how far the vehicle travels during the driver’s reaction time.
3
Q
What are is the thinking distance affected by?
A
speed , reaction time
4
Q
what is the braking distance?
A
Braking distance is the distance taken to stop under the braking force
5
Q
how does speed affect the thinking distance
A
The faster you’re going, the further you’ll travel during the time you take to react
6
Q
how does the reaction time affect thinking distance?
A
The longer your reaction time, the longer your thinking distance
