HL - Chapter 1 - Vehicle Ops - Unit 3 Lesson 1

Question 1

Pitch

Answer 1

occurs during acceleration or braking and causes the transfer of a vehicle’s weight from front to rear or rear to front

Question 2

Roll

Answer 2

occurs when turning. This shifts the vehicle’s weight from side to side

Question 3

Yaw

Answer 3

the transfer of a vehicle’s weight causing an end for- end motion resulting in the vehicle turning 180° on a horizontal plane

Question 4

Radius

Answer 4

the distance from the center of a circle to the outside

Question 5

Increasing radius

Answer 5

a turn that gets wider during the turn

Question 6

Decreasing radius

Answer 6

a turn that gets tighter during the turn

Question 7

Constant radius

Answer 7

a turn that remains the same throughout

Question 8

Understeer

Answer 8

the tendency of a vehicle to turn less sharply than the driver intends. * excessive speed
* lack of traction on the steering tires
* improper braking in a turn or curve

Question 9

Oversteer

Answer 9

the tendency of a vehicle to steer into a sharper turn than the driver intends, sometimes with a loss of traction of the rear to the outside. * * Occurs at higher speeds when the rear tires lose traction and excessive braking occurs in a turn or curve

Question 10

The correction for understeer

Answer 10

remove the foot from the accelerator, maintain steering input but not apply brakes

Question 11

The correction for oversteer

Answer 11

remove the foot from the accelerator and/or brake, steer the car where desired, refrain from applying the brakes

Question 12

Wheel tracking

Answer 12

causes the rear wheels to follow a tighter path than the path the front wheels traveled in a turn.

Question 13

Eye Targeting

Answer 13

looking in the desired direction of travel to avoid an obstacle and to avoid steering in the direction of the obstacle
