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.
