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

Types of forces - SEN/LAP

(0)
An introduction to forces lesson created for students in an SEN school. Can also be used for yr7 mainstream. Included: 3 x worksheets - all unblurred when bought Starter question Info - Isaac Newton Forces as push or pulls and changing an objects speed, shape or direction ACTIVITY - unit of force, what forces are, how they effect objects, examples of force action on objects with pics - GAPFILL Whole class check for understanding - are these forces pushes or pulls x 3 Use of arrows with forces Types of forces - tension, normal, friction, thrust, upthrust, weight, magnetic, electrostatic air resistance. Arrows showing direction Whole class check for understanding - which arrows are correct for direction of force x 3 Drag forces ACTIVITY - Identify the force and add arrows to show direction Whole class check for understanding - what type of force is this - x 5 Contact vs non-contact forces ACTIVITY - table completion of contact vs non-contact forces and a gapfill definition completion Whole class check for understanding - ontact vs non-contact forces thumbs up & down ACTIVITY - Independent worksheet & answers Plenary - what force is the picture and what way is it acting Everything is unblurred when bought
