| Question | Answer |
| The stopping distance depends on... | ... the thinking distance and the braking distance. |
| Thinking distance is... | ... the distnace travelled during the drivers reaction time. |
| Braking distance is... | ... the distance travelled under braking force. |
| Stopping distance is... | ... thinking distance add braking distance, the toatl time to stop. |
| Factors that increase stopping distance: | If the vehicle is travelling at greater speeds (BD), If the are adverse weather conditions (BD), If the driver is tried, disrtacted or under the influence of durgs and/or achohol (TD), If the vehicle is in poor condition (BD), |
| Friction forces between the ... and the ... and between the ... and the ... reduce the vehicle's kinetic energy. | Friction forces between the brakes and the wheel and between the wheel and the road surface reduce the vehicle's kinetic energy. |
| This Kinetic energy is transferred into... | ... heat energy, increasing the brake temperature. |
