Question
A driver drives a car at uniform velocity along a road. The driver sees a hazard and applies the brakes.What is the car’s motion as it moves through the thinking distance and as it moves through the braking distance?*1 point
Solution
The car's motion can be divided into two phases: the thinking distance and the braking distance.
-
Thinking Distance: This is the distance the car travels from the moment the driver sees the hazard to the moment the brakes are applied. During this time, the car continues to move at a uniform velocity because the brakes have not yet been applied.
-
Braking Distance: This is the distance the car travels from the moment the brakes are applied to the moment the car comes to a complete stop. During this time, the car's speed decreases from its initial uniform velocity to zero. This is because the brakes apply a force to the car that opposes its motion, causing it to slow down and eventually stop.
So, in summary, during the thinking distance the car moves at a uniform velocity, and during the braking distance, the car decelerates until it comes to a stop.
