Factors Affecting Braking Distance (GCSE Physics)

A short example calculation question: A car doubles its speed from 10 m/s to 20 m/s. If its original braking distance at 10 m/s was 8 m, the new braking distance (assuming same conditions) will be approximately

When a car approaches a hazard and the driver reacts immediately, the thinking distance depends on

Which of these driver actions will reduce overall stopping distance in an emergency?

Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) affect stopping distance by

If a car’s speed doubles, which statement about its braking distance is correct (assuming same conditions)?

Which driver behaviour will increase overall stopping distance the most?

Which maintenance action would most improve braking performance and reduce braking distance?

Which factor would most increase braking distance at night compared with daytime, assuming the driver behaves the same?

Which statement about braking distance is true for two cars with identical brakes and tyres, one carrying extra load?

If wet conditions double stopping distance compared with dry conditions at the same speed, then at the same speed the braking distance component is

How does increasing the braking force (for example by applying more pressure to the brake pedal) affect braking distance assuming tyres don’t slip?
