Thinking distance is the…
A car travels 7m during a the driver’s reaction time, then a further 23m whilst the car is braking. What was the cars stopping distance?
A car travels 46m whilst the car is braking. The total stopping distance was 56m. What was the cars thinking distance?
List 5 factors that can affect braking distance
A person drives a car A around a racetrack at 60m/s, the car in front breaks down so the driver needs to stop the car immediately. Car B is the same car as car A and also must stop immediately, but was driving at 30m/s. Assuming the driver’s reaction time is the same in both cars, explain in which car the stopping distance will be greater.
Two cars are driving at 20m/s along a motorway. There is a queue of traffic up ahead so both react and step on the brakes at the same time. Car A has new tyres, whereas car B’s tyres are old and worn. Explain which car will have the shortest stopping distance.
A car and a lorry are both travelling at 40mph. A traffic light turns red and both drivers react and step on the brakes. Both vehicles have new brakes and tyres. Explain which vehicle will have a shorter stopping distance.
1.Calculate stopping distance when thinking distance is 15m and braking distance is 40m
2.Calculate braking distance when thinking distance is 20m and the stopping distance is 80m
3.Define thinking distance
