Practice question
What is the primary factor that causes the total stopping distance of a fully loaded 40-tonne truck to be significantly longer than a passenger car?
- Enormous kinetic energy (E = 1/2 m v^2) requiring substantially more braking friction energy, combined with pneumatic brake system response lag (0.2–0.4 seconds)
- Truck engines have smaller displacement
- Truck drivers have slower biological reflexes
- Pneumatic brakes are weaker than bicycle brakes
Answer: A — Enormous kinetic energy (E = 1/2 m v^2) requiring substantially more braking friction energy, combined with pneumatic brake system response lag (0.2–0.4 seconds)
