Explanation

Question 15 of 30

1

What is terminal velocity?

Select one of the following:

When an object falls through a fluid it initially due to the force of being than the forces. As the object moves , the that act on it . This gradually the until the force is to the force so it wont anymore. It will have reached its () and will fall at a .

Explanation

Question 17 of 30

1

The terminal velocity of falling objects depends on their and . The accelerating force acting on all objects is and if it were not for , everything would fall at the rate (like on the ). The terminal velocity of objects is determined by its in comparison to its . The frictional force depends on its shape and area.

Question 19 of 30

1

What is the stopping distance?

Select one or more of the following:

  • The sum of how fast your going and how long it takes for the brakes to work

  • The sum of the thinking distance and stopping distance

  • The sum of the thinking distance and braking distance

Explanation

Question 20 of 30

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Thinking distance is the distance the vehicle travels during the driver's ( reaction, Braking ) time

Braking distance is the ( distance, metres ) the vehicle travels after the ( brakes, seat belts, reactions ) are applied until it comes to a complete ( stop, slow down, deceleration )

Explanation

Question 21 of 30

1

For a given braking force... what happens to the stopping distance?

Select one of the following:

  • The faster a vehicle is moving, the greater the stopping distance and the braking force needed

  • The slower the vehicle is moving, the greater the stopping distance, and the less braking force is needed

Explanation

Question 22 of 30

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

Factors that affect thinking distance:

* How you're going - the faster you go, the the stopping distance
* How to you are - this can be affected by , and
* Bad
* (e.g. rain, noise)

Explanation

Question 23 of 30

1

What does NOT affect braking distance.

Select one of the following:

  • How fast you're going - it takes further to stop

  • How good you're brakes are - worn or faulty brakes will not have as much force as reliable, new brakes

  • How good the tyres are- should have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm to get rid of water in wet conditions

  • How good the grip of road surface is due to weather conditions (e.g. water, ice, snow, diesel spills) * You don't have as much grip, so travel further before stopping

  • The make of the car and type of metal it is used from - the stronger the metal frame, the slower the breaking distance

Explanation

Question 24 of 30

1

Braking and kinetic energy transfer:

To slow down a car, energy needs to be into other types of . (e.g.thermal and a little sound)

When the brakes of a car are applied, the between the and the converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, which causes the temperature of the brakes to .

So, work is done by the force to convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy and a little energy.
