A measure of speed with relative distance
strobe picture
The speed in a given direction
What is Velocity
What factors affect your ability to stop
What is condition of the road, condition of the brakes, reaction time/distance, condition of the tires
You can't do either option safely.
What is the Dilemma Zone
the distance traveled per unit time; speed is a scalar quantity, it has no direction
What is Speed
A quantity that has both magnitude and direction
What is a Vector
the zone in which you can safely go through without speeding up or running a red light
What is the Go Zone
a push or a pull
What is Force
Speed that does not change over a period of time
What is Constant Speed
The change in velocity with respect to a change in time
What is Acceleration
the zone in which you can safely stop in at the yellow light
What is the Stop Zone
a force directed toward the center to keep an object in a circular path
What is Centripetal Force
The total distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance
What is Average Speed
Following a car within the stopping distance of your vehicle
What is Tailgating
The go zone extends back to the stop zone and the stop zone extends back to the go zone. The car can choose either (go or stop) safely.
What is The Overlap Zone
When driving, what allows you to make a corner?
What is Friction
