What happens to the speed of a motor car when brakes are gently applied?
The speed of the motor vehicle is gently slowed down. The more aggressive the brakes are applied the faster the vehicle slows down eventually coming to a full stop.
What happens when sudden brakes are applied to the vehicle without using clutch?
If the vehicle is stopped without using the clutch , the engine will give jerks and turn off if the vehicle is in higher gear and the speed is not according to the range of the gear. Although, if the vehicle is being driven in higher gears and slight brakes are applied, no effect will be there if the vehicle's speed remains in the corresponding range. Example: if you are driving a vehicle at 90km/h in 5th gear and you bring it down to 60km/h by applying brakes without using the clutch, nothing will happen and you can continue driving by accelerating again.
If the brakes fail on your vehicle the parking breaks may be used to help stop the vehicle as well?
Yes, the parking brakes can be used to stop the vehicle in emergency. But remember that, in most of the vehicles parking brakes apply only to one pair of wheels, so if the vehicle is in high speed, one has to apply them carefully and save the vehicle from skidding.
What happens when you increase the velocity of the vehicle?
Your speed increases
What should you do if the back end of your vehicle starts to skid?
If the back end of your vehicle starts to skid do not panic and apply the brakes because if you do that the problem's gonna worsen ! All you have to do is continue driving but at a lower speed because this is gonna happen mostly on highways or a long road cause that's when you're faster and this happens. So continue reducing your speed gradually until you can safely use your brakes.
Where is the vehicle speed sensor?
There is more than one speed sensor on the vehicle. If you have anti-lock brakes there is one at each wheel hub. The one that runs the speedo is at the output shaft housing of the transmission on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
What happens to an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
-It increases
What happens when a driver on a wet day at a high speed suddenly applies the brake?
The wheels will lock up and skid and possibly cause the driver to lose control unless of course the vehicle has abs brakes in which case the vehicle would slow to a stop without losing control.
Where is the vehicle speed sensor located on a 1995 gmc sierra?
its located next to the drivers side front tire, by the brakes
How do you control speed or stop a vehicle which runs with cryogenic engine?
Such a vehicle does not exist. However should one be built (unlikely) it would need to have a speed control (accelerator) and means of stopping (brakes) incorporated as with all vehicles.
What happens to stream speed if the discharge in a stream doubles?
If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
Why should you avoid slamming on your brakes when you want to stop in shortest possible distance if you are driving at a high speed?
Because you will skid and lose control of the vehicle. Unless it is equipt with anit-lock brakes.
