What are the two factors that will affect the amount of kinetic energy on the moving vehicle on the road?
-- mass of the vehicle -- speed of the vehicle
When kinetic energy of the crash is used up crushing the metal of the vehicle?
True
In a vehicle collision the longer it takes to dissipate kinetic energy the force of impact?
lower
Does the kinetic energy of your vehicle dissipates quickly when the vehicle is in a crash?
It just depends on how quickly it stops. In some crashes the vehicle may go on out of control for some distance, in head-on crashes it will stop very quickly
What are some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
Can water from the roadway cause a vehicle to stall?
No. The water on the road won't make your vehicle stall.
What is an example of kinetic energy as it applies to a vehicle?
Kinetic energy is extra energy resultant of motion. So, a moving vehicle has kinetic energy.
Who has to pay if a car pulls out and is hit by anothercar?
If a vehicle is pulling into roadway from driveway, the vehicle pulling out is at fault.
What is the gripping power bewtween vehicle tires and roadway surface?
Traction
Making quick glances to the roadway in front of your vehicle?
ground viewing
What is the gripping power between the tires and the roadway surface called?
The gripping power between a vehicle tires and a roadway surface is called traction
What do you do to allow another vehicle or roadway user to proceed first?
Give way
What 3 things can reduce traction?
Vehicle condition, roadway, improper tire inflation
Riders of bicycles and mopeds on a roadway have the same rights and responsibilities as?
Motor Vehicle Drivers
Is it true Hydroplaning is when the vehicle tires ride on a layer of water above the roadway?
true
