Effect of higher speed on stopping distance
Effect of higher speed on stopping distance
Stopping distance generally increases
Rate thinking distance increases with speed
Rate thinking distance increases with speed
At same rate as speed
Why thinking distance increases linearly with speed
Why thinking distance increases linearly with speed
Reaction time constant, but speed changes
Effect of speed on braking distance
Effect of speed on braking distance
Braking distance increases
Why braking distance increases with speed
Why braking distance increases with speed
More KE due to relationship; increases at higher rate than speed
Kinetic energy formula
Kinetic energy formula
Why KE increase means more braking distance
Why KE increase means more braking distance
More work needed to transfer KE (constant braking force)
Work done formula

Use of stopping distance vs speed graphs
Use of stopping distance vs speed graphs
Compare different vehicles' stopping distances
At 35mph: Blue vs Red vehicle stopping distance
At 35mph: Blue vs Red vehicle stopping distance
Blue: 23m, Red: 29m (Blue shorter)
