A mountain rescue quad bike rider spots a fallen tree across a track and brings the quad bike to a stop. During the rider's reaction time the quad bike covers 8 m. Once the brakes are applied, it covers a further 21 m before coming to rest.
Using these values, calculate the quad bike's stopping distance.
126 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 2.5 Stopping and braking distances, covering 2.5.1 Stopping distance and reaction time, 2.5.2 Factors affecting stopping distance, 2.5.3 Dangers of large decelerations, and 2.5.4 Braking distance and initial speed. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
