CDI-4 :. FINAL QUIZ

1. What are the things that determine skidding distance?

- these are some things that can affect your stopping distance

Speed. Your stopping distance is actually made up of two factors – thinking distance and braking
distance. ...

Brakes. ...

Tyre Pressure. ...

Tyre Wear. ...

Tyre Quality. ...

Road Conditions. ...

View of the Road. ...

Distractions.

Tiredness.

2. What is also among those other factors to be considered?

- these may considered in determining skidding distance

1. Weather – The Weather plays a crucial role while determining the stopping distance as the friction
coefficient of the road changes along with the changing weather condition.

2. Road Condition – If the condition of the road is not in a good condition, it is far more probable that
the car is at risk of an accident.

3. Define the followings:

A. Speed estimates
 -What is the formula to calculate average speed? The most common formula for average speed is
distance traveled divided by time taken. The other formula, if you have the initial and final speed, add
the two together, and divide by 2. The formula for speed and distance is the same for a car as any other
object: distance ÷ time. So if you want to calculate the speed of a car at sixty miles an hour, the math is
(60 x 5280) ÷ (60 x 60) = 88 feet per second. So this formula works for any "how far do you travel.

B. Facts needed

-Learn the formula of stopping distance with examples. Understand the meaning and calculations of
braking distance, thinking distance, and stopping distance and for your driving you need to Know the
driving hazards you can face on the road. ...

Maintain your vehicle in good condition. ...

Always wear a seat belt. ...

Follow traffic rules and obey signs and signals. ...

Be a safe and defensive driver every day. ...

Know how to respond to an accident.

C. Length of skidmarks

-The length of these skids is an indication of the speed of the vehicle. Two factors are important
when calculating speed from skidmarks: 1) the distance the vehicle slid and 2) the coefficient of friction
or drag factor between the road and the tires of the vehicle.
