When a driver presses the brake pedal his car stops with an acceleration of M S 2 How far will the car travel while coming to a complete stop if its initial speed was 10 m s?

Answer: The car will travel 5.75 m before come to rest.

How far does the car travel while the brakes are being applied?

Vehicle Braking distance is the distance it takes the vehicle to stop once you hit the brakes. At 55 mph on dry pavement, it takes a vehicle with good brakes about 4 ½ seconds to stop. Within that time, the vehicle will travel another 182 feet (braking distance = 0.06 times the speed squared).

How do you calculate skid distance?

dis the distance the car skidded (in feet). fis a special number (called the coefficient of friction) that depends on the road surface and road conditions. S = ~30d(I.O) (dry tar road). For a wet tar road, f is about 0.5, so the formula is S = ~ 30d(0.5) (wet tar road).

When the brakes are applied to a vehicle the stopping distance is calculated by using a mathematical concept What is the concept?

= 0.00625. A bike moves with a velocity of 15 m/s and applies a brake. Calculate its stopping distance if the constant of proportionality is 0.9….Solution:

How do you decelerate a car?

Using the clutch to slow down works in tandem with the accelerator pedal. Let off the gas and let your car slow down a bit. Then press the clutch, downshift, and ease the clutch back out. If you time it right, you will feel a firm but smooth deceleration.

What happens during deceleration driving?

This reduces the kinetic energy of the vehicle, slowing it down and causing the temperature of the brakes to increase. Decelerating from very high speeds too quickly can cause a number of problems: The brakes could overheat and the material they are made from could shatter. This will lead to the driver losing control.
