2_4 On the Road
• What is the resultant force at constant velocity?
• What does the stopping distance of a vehicle depend on?
• What factors increase stopping distance?
May 3, 2023
The “Bloodhound” supersonic car is aiming to go faster than 1000mph! Not even a plane has been that fast at sea level!

What does this table tell you about these cars?What must happen to the forces at top speed for there to be no acceleration?

Forces on cars
• No resultant force means no acceleration.• Top speed is reached when the _________
from the ________ equals the _________ from the air resistance.
Force from engineAir resistance

Stopping distances
What happens if the thrust force reduces?How much distance would this need to stop at 500 m/s?
Car travelling at 1000mph
Drag force
Thrust force

Stopping distances
What happens if the thrust force reduces? Car slows down.
How much distance would this need to stop at 500 m/s? Around 2.5 miles!

Highway code stopping distances
• Thinking distance = distance covered before brakes are applied.
• Braking distance = distance covered while braking.

What can increase stopping distance?
Thinking distance
Braking distance

Summary
• Thinking distance is how far a car travels before a driver hits the brakes.
• Braking distance is how far the car travels while braking.
• Stopping distance is thinking distance + braking distance.
