Covering the brake pedal can cut reaction time by what percent?
50%
Covering the brake is the same as riding the brake?
Somebody who "rides" the brake is constantly applying pressure to the brake pedal with their foot. People who tailgate ride their brake alot. "Covering" the brake is a form of defensive driving. For example, while proceeding through a traffic light, you would want to take your foot off of the gas pedal and place it just above the brake pedal (without applying pressure) to decrease your reaction time in case you need to brake suddenly.
Placing your foot over the brake so that you can brake in less time is called?
Its called "covering"
When driving what do you call when you move your foot from the gas to over the brake?
Reaction time
What is the term used for seeing the danger to putting your foot on the brake pedal?
That's your reaction time.
What is called how far a car travels in the time it takes the driver to react to a situation and apply the brake?
It can be called Response Time or Reaction Time.
What is the typical reaction time from when you see a road occurrence to when you actually touch the brake?
1/10 seconds
How do you calculate brake efficiency of a car?
estimates the distance a car travel at 100 km/h during your reaction time in braking
Is the distance traveled from the time your brain tells your foot to move from the accelerator until your foot is actually pushing the brake pedal?
reaction distance
Is the distanced traveled from the time your brain tells your foot to move from the accelerator until your foot is actually pushing the brake pedal?
reaction distance
How much does a brake pad replacement cost.?
Brake pad replacements are cheap. Last time I paid for brake pads, it was $15 for two. It depends on your vehicle but if you have a regular Honda or Chevy then it shouldn't cost much.
How does age effect reaction time and if so how?
yes because the later it is in the day the tierder you will be, eg: if you test someones reaction time in the morning it will be much faster than it is at night. so the later it is in the day the slower your reaction time will be. the earlier it is in the day the faster your reaction time is.
