What are the two main factors that affect stopping distance when a vehicle is in motion?
Vehicle speed and road conditions
Vehicle speed and engine power
Driver age and vehicle color
Road conditions and tire pressure
If a car is traveling at a higher speed, how does this affect the stopping distance?
Decreases stopping distance
Increases stopping distance
Has no effect on stopping distance
Only affects braking distance
Wet roads generally increase stopping distances for vehicles.
True
False
Which of the following best describes the term 'braking distance'?
The distance traveled while the driver reacts
The distance it takes for a vehicle to come to a stop after braking
The total stopping distance minus the reaction distance
The distance covered before acceleration stops
Select all factors that can affect a vehicle's stopping distance.
Weather conditions
Vehicle mass
Braking efficiency
Driver's reaction time
What is the formula to calculate stopping distance from speed and reaction time?
Stopping distance = Reaction time × Speed
Stopping distance = Speed × Speed / 2 × acceleration
Stopping distance = Reaction distance + Braking distance
Stopping distance = Speed / Time
A car will always have the same stopping distance regardless of its speed.
True
False
What factor is not affected by road conditions when determining stopping distance?
Driver's reaction time
Braking distance
Friction between tires and road
Momentum of the vehicle
Which of the following actions can reduce stopping distances?
Driving slower
Increasing tire friction
Avoiding distractions
Using stronger brakes
The heavier the vehicle, the shorter the stopping distance.
True
False
Which road condition generally provides the least friction and thus the longest stopping distance?
Dry asphalt
Wet asphalt
Snow-covered road
Gravel road
Select all components that might increase a vehicle's braking distance.
Worn out brake pads
Improper tire pressure
Upgraded brake system
Heavy load in the vehicle
When you double your speed, how does it affect your stopping distance approximately?
It doubles
It triples
It quadruples
It remains the same
The reaction distance is the distance traveled while the driver is reacting to a situation.
True
False
