100
It is the center point of any curve.
What is the apex?
100
It is the ability to judge distance and perceive space to determine how far away an object is.
What is depth perception?
100
Is the end-to-end motion on a horizontal plane.
What is yaw?
100
Occurs when the wheels lock and do not turn while the vehicle is moving.
What is a skid?
100
An active attempt by an officer driving an authorized emergency vehicle to apprehend occupants of a moving vehilce when the vehicle increases speed, takes other evasive actions, or refuses to stop in an apparent attempt to avoid apprehension.
What is a pursuit?
200
It is the tendency of a vehicle to turn less sharply than the driver intends.
What is under steering?
200
It is the ability to distinguish colors.
What is color vision?
200
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
What is Newton's First Physical Law?
200
Occurs from the loss of both rolling friction and traction.
What is a slide?
200
Is an occurrence that causes the rear wheels to follow a tighter path in relation to the path the front wheels traveled in a turn.
What is wheel tracking?
300
The force that is neccessary to keep a vehicle moving in a curved path and is directed inward toward the center of rotation.
What is centripetal force?
300
The ability to see clearly in darkness.
What is night vision?
300
Occurs when turning and shifts the vehicle's weight from side to side.
What is Roll?
300
When the tires are in constant rotation on the road surface without losing contact.
What is rolling friction?
300
Occurs just before the vehicle's tires lose traction during acceleration.
What is incipient spin?
400
It is the tendency of a vehicle to steer into a sharper turn than the driver intends, sometimes with a loss of traction of the rear to the outside.
What is over steering?
400
The ability to see above, below and to the sides.
What is peripheral vision?
400
The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
What is Newton's third physical law?
400
Turning the vehicle's front tires in the desired direction to regain traction.
What is counter steering?
400
When a driver presses the brake pedal by applying light pressure and gradually increases pressure to slow or stop as quickly as possible without locking the brakes.
What is threshold braking?
500
The force that is felt by a vehicle moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of rotation.
What is centrifugal force?
500
Is sharpness of vision.
What is acuity?
500
Affects the degree of pitch, roll, and yaw that a vehicle experiences.
What is vehicular stability?
500
Result of the friction a vehilce's tires create on the road surface.
What is traction?
500
Case in which the courts were concerned with the use of deadly force to apprehend an individual for commision of a nondangerous crime and drew a distinction between the act of pursuing and the act of blocking or seizing a person.
What is Tennessee v. Garner
