Braking - Top Gear
rkbenneworthrkbenneworth

Braking - Top Gear

(0)
Created for students in an SEN (Autism) school. Works for LAP Three equations: Stopping Distance = Thinking Distance + Braking Distance - 7 questions Thinking Distance = Speed x Reaction Time - 7 questions Braking Distance = (Speed2) ÷ (2 x Deceleration) - 6 questions Questions are linked to Top Gear. Randomly ordered. Three example questions included at the beginning: Example 1 - Jeremy Clarkson drove a McLaren P1 at 90 mph. What is the stopping distance if the thinking distance is 25 m and the braking distance is 140m? Stopping distance = 25 + 140 = 165 m Example 2 – Richard Hammond drove a Mercedes-Benz S-Class at 27 m/s. If his reaction time is 1.5 seconds, what is the thinking distance? Thinking distance = 27 x 1.5 = 40.5 m Example 3 - James May tested a Lexus LC 500 at a speed of 22 m/s. If the deceleration rate is 8 m/s², what is the braking distance? Braking distance = (22^2) ÷ (2 x 8) = 484 ÷ 16 = 30.25 m Print pages 1 to 4 for students, answers are on page 5 to display. Everything unblurred when bought
