Factors Affecting Stopping Distance of a Vehicle Distance

The video tutorial explains the factors affecting the stopping distance of a vehicle, which includes thinking distance and braking distance. It discusses how reaction time, road conditions, and vehicle speed influence these distances. The tutorial also provides an example using graphs to calculate stopping distance, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors for safe driving.

What are the two components that make up the stopping distance of a vehicle?

• Reaction time and speed

• Driver's attention and vehicle type

• Thinking distance and braking distance

• Braking force and road condition

Which factor can increase the thinking distance of a driver?

• New tires

• Driver's intoxication

• Good weather conditions

• Low speed

How does icy road conditions affect the braking distance?

• Decreases the braking distance

• Has no effect on braking distance

• Increases the braking distance

• Only affects thinking distance

What happens to the stopping distance as the speed of the vehicle increases?

• It only affects thinking distance

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It increases

In the example provided, what is the total stopping distance for driver B in a large car at 20 meters per second?

• 40 meters

• 54 meters

• 60 meters

• 14 meters
