Reaction Time (GCSE Physics)

Which of these best describes the difference between reaction time and response time?

A novice driver has an average reaction time of 0.6 s and an experienced driver 0.45 s. What percent faster (shorter) is the experienced driver’s reaction time compared to the novice?

Which factor would NOT normally increase a person’s reaction time (make it slower)?

Which lifestyle change is most likely to improve someone’s reaction time over weeks?

A snowboarder practices reacting faster to a gate. Which training will most likely reduce their reaction time?

Which of these is a direct consequence of reduced reaction time for drivers in traffic?

In laboratory reaction-time tests, why is it important to randomise the time interval before the stimulus appears?

A student drops a ruler and another student catches it; the distance the ruler falls before being caught is used to estimate reaction time. Which physical quantity is directly calculated from that falling distance for the estimate?

Which action would reduce a driver’s reaction time (make them respond faster) while driving?

Which physiological factor most directly determines how quickly sensory information is converted into a motor response during a simple reaction-time task?

Which method provides the most controlled way to measure pure reaction time to a visual stimulus in the lab?
