What factor besides speed is important when calculating braking distance?
driving safely Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires What factors affect the thinking distance:
Which unit would a scientist use for measuring the distance traveled by a car?
Scientists use Kilometers to measure distance traveled by a car
What science unit would best measure the distance of a matchbox car on a toy track?
inertia?
The distance traveled by a car depends on the velocity of the car?
Distance(velocity), or D(v)
How does friction affect the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface road conditions including skidding braking force braking distance thinking distance and stopping distance?
Tyre surface: If the tyre is new, it will have surface with depressions which will offer more friction compared to old tyre whose surface-depressions are worn out and it is more flat, so it offers less friction. Therefore, new tyre will have less stopping distance, as force of friction is more. Thinking distance is affected neither by friction between tyre and road, nor by friction between brake and tyre. If road has a wet surface, it has less friction so the vehicle will skid farther, and vice versa. The braking force, i.e, friction between tyre and brake is unaffected by road condition or tyre surface. Hence the distance the vehicle travels WHILE retarding due to "braking force", is not same as stopping distance, because even when the wheels are stopped rotating due to braking force, the car will skid a little distance- this total distance is the stopping distance.
What is the thinking distance of a car traveling at 20mph?
It depends on the reaction time of the driver. This could be affected by his reaction speed or whether he is intoxicated. In any case the faster he is travelling the longer the thinking distance will be.
How would the thinking distance be greater than the braking distance with a car?
I am trying to understand your question and interpret it as meaning: How does the reaction time affect the breaking distance of a car at different speeds. The simple answer is that the reaction time "thinking distance" does not change, but the distance a car travels at higher speeds changes during that time does. For example: If you are too close to the car in front of you and they slam on their breaks, if you are both going fast enough, by the time you did your "thinking time" you would be crashing into their rear end.
What is the stopping distance for a car travelling at 80 mph?
yes its 622 feet, but the state of the driver does not affect the stopping distance of a car. this is only affected by the mass of the car and the state the brake pads are in. so you can be drunk or sobre but the stopping distance will always be the same, its the thinking distance that is affected by the state of mind the driver is in. The stopping distance of a car most certainly IS affected by the state of the driver in question, due to braking systems not being specifically on or off, rather being sensitive to the pressure applied to them. If the driver in question brakes too hard, or too softly, then the stopping distance will change, obviously.
What is thinking distance?
The thinking distance in a car is good and every 1 loves? I'm Will Rayner. I'm Will Rayner.
What does thinking distance mean?
Thinking distance is the distance travelled between a driver seeing a danger and taking action to avoid it, such as putting their foot on the brake pedal to stop the car.
What is the element of stopping distance?
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
What is the element of total stopping distance?
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
How will the total distance traveled by a car in 2 hours be affected if the average speed is doubled?
the car will arrive earlier because you are doubling in the speed you are going.its asking how will the time it takes to get there be affected.
How would a car be affected if it had no wheels?
It would be unable to move and no longer be mobile.
How will the total distance traveled by a car in 2 hours be affected if the average speed of a car?
If the average speed of the car....Here is an unfinished question. The total distance is average speed times time. But since average speed is gotten by dividing total distance by the time, then it's a kind of circular question.
How are thinking distance and braking distance linked?
When you will observe the road far ahead of the front end of your car and keep proper distance between other cars, then you will have enough time for thinking and enough space for braking. But when intense situation happens, then the thinking and braking are solidified in one desperate move: to avoid a collision.
