module 3.1 quiz

Question 1

gravity

Answer 1

the natural force that constantly pulls all things to the earth and affects an object’s weight

Question 2

center of gravity

Answer 2

a point where the mass of the vehicle is concentrated and balanced

Question 3

the higher the center of gravity, the more blank the vehicle becomes

Answer 3

unstable

Question 4

when a driver blank, blank, or blank, the G forces are amplified

Answer 4

brakes
accelerates
corners

Question 5

kinetic energy

Answer 5

the energy an object possesses sea due to its speed/velocity and its mass

Question 6

the blank an object moves, the more blank it collects

Answer 6

faster

energy

Question 7

a blank moving object will have blank kinetic energy than a lighter moving object moving at the same speed

Answer 7

heavier

more

Question 8

how can a vehicle’s kinetic energy be overcome?

Answer 8

brakes, friction, air resistance, and gravity

Question 9

momentum

Answer 9

the quantity of motion an object has, (measured in kg • m/s)

Question 10

the more *blank and blank an object has, the more momentum

Answer 10

mass

velocity

Question 11

impulse

Answer 11

change in momentum

Question 12

what is the magnitude of impulse based on?

Answer 12

the amount of opposing force and the time span over which that force is applied

Question 13

inertia

Answer 13

an object’s tendency to resist any change in its state of motion

Question 14

when driving through a curve, inertia creates the sensation that your a being blank toward the blank of the curve

Answer 14

pulled

outside

Question 15

why does inertia create the sensation that you are being pulled toward the outside of the curve when driving through a curve?

Answer 15

you are traveling in a straight line, and inertia wants to keep you going in a straight line

Question 16

what transfers weight from one point of the vehicle to another?

Answer 16

acceleration
deceleration/braking
steering input/cornering
surface traction

Question 17

pitch

Answer 17

vehicle weight shifts rear to front or front to rear

Question 18

pitch

real life example

Answer 18

slowing down
speeding up
brake
release brake
accelerate

steeping on brakes quickly and your head swings forward

fast acceleration in a sports car and your head leans back

Question 19

roll

Answer 19

vehicle weight shifts side to side

Question 20

roll

real life example

Answer 20

sudden jerky steering

grade of road- highest point of road in the middle

taking curve too fast

braking and steering combinations

Question 21

yaw

Answer 21

vehicle’s rear tires lose traction and weight shift to one side (rear tires slide)

fishtail

Question 22

yaw

real life example

Answer 22

sudden braking

sudden excessive acceleration or sleeking

traction loss to a rear tire

tilted road left or right
