2.5 Stopping and braking distances

Card 1 of 20

Reaction time is the time between [     ].

A
  • Water reduces tyre-road friction.
  • Smaller braking force increases braking distance.
B

F=ΔpΔtF=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}F=ΔtΔp​, so a smaller Δt\Delta tΔt gives a larger force.

C

Smaller braking force causes smaller deceleration.

D

Reaction time is the time between detecting a stimulus and beginning a response.
