In this video, we look at what is meant by the stopping distance of a vehicle. We explore the idea of thinking distance and braking distance before looking at the factors that affect these.
This video is based on the AQA spec. This video may be appropriate for iGCSE / O Level Physics. Please consult your specification. The Amazon link above is an affiliate link.

Hi, I noticed your motivational smile at the end is starting to fade away. why is this? Btw you're a sublime teacher!
Nooooooo I’m sad now
Probs tired, he saved our grades multiple times and still is
Just started A level physics and all I can say is I need this man more than ever, whenever possible i'm still watching his stuff to explain concepts to me and help me grasp the course. PLEASE make A Level physics videos, PLEASE !!!
he cant he is not specialised in it
I advertise this channel at school
gatekeep bro
We should be able to go quicker on the roads now because modernised cars have decreased stopping distances. Good video by the way sir
i love you youre saving my gcses during online learning, especially bc my physics teacher has abandoned me and the cover work is not helpful at all
Petition for bringing his smile in the end🥺😔😔
I might bring it back for the A level videos.
@@Freesciencelessons yesssssss we would love it and thank u for noticing me 🥺❤️
0:52 spots and stops... so easy to remember the.... the p and t swap places..................
absolute legend
I like ur profile pic
How can you not like this guy.
He’s literally saving my GCSEs rn physics today 💪
i'm going to miss seeing your face in the videos :(
i love you sir you’re saving my science GCSE🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hey sir do we have any kind of calculation that can come on exam from here?
Coming back during a level because idk how to drive
I thought that the speed of the vehicle also affects the braking distance since it takes longer for the brakes to slow down the vehicle if it's speed is high.
It does, as more work needs to be done by the breaks
Fun fact: more worn tires actually decrease the stopping distance in dry conditions as more of the thread comes into contact with the pavement, and the car could brake harder without losing grip and skidding.
thanks alot I could have received a detention (I lost my physics book) if it wasn't for this video XD
huh? how did the video help with the book
i was reading on a engineering explained video that worn tyres help reduce braking distance and that's why F1 use slicks. Would i still just say that worn tyres increase stopping distance?
@freesciencelessons do we need to know the stopping distances for cars, average values?
In Australia our reaction time is 1.5 seconds..... Don't know where they pulled that number from
My G
Thanks
Hi Sir, do we need to know the stopping lengths for each speed limit or not?
You're expected to be able to estimate them for different speeds.
@@Freesciencelessons and how do we do that? is there a method?
@@Freesciencelessons how do we do this
@@homerevision9928 memorise it
hey how is the snow in the place where you live
Thanks sir
Hi, I'm struggling with momentum and I don't understand it at all, can you suggest a decent definition of momentum. If you can, can you do your next video on momentum. Thanks:
Basically, how difficult it is to stop a moving object
do we need to learn the typical thinking/braking distance off by heart?
Hai, where is ur reaction time table. love ur voice at 0.75 speed.
should try it.
@@z266z it's hilarious 😂
0:37 the driver applies a force to the accelerator
No, he applies a force to the brake and the brake slows down the car before it eventually comes to stop mate. You cant school Mr. FreeScienceLessons
feel jealous of his real students
Sorry, I don't quite understand how the greater speed of a vehicle can cause an increase in stopping distance. Could you please explain it to me?
Maybe the deceleration would be greater if speed of the vehicle would be greater and hence the distance covered by the car will be more ?
because your car is moving faster the stopping distance is longer as it would take longer for the brakes to actually stop the car.
Great
On your website, is the Physics (9-1 Spec) all covered, or is there more still left to finish it. Please reply, i'm going to be doing my PPE's soon.
Hi. By the end of next week, every single Physics video will be done and on the website. I've got around six more to do.
Freesciencelessons ok thanks, and is the chemistry unit all done. It looks like it. But I'm not too sure. Thanks for the reply!
Go back to old into song plz
that one was always annoying.
Ishpreet Dhiman That’s why it’s so good
im setting up the petition
is the whole of biology paper 2 going to be finished before the exams
All of the paper 2 Bio videos will be done in three weeks (only Ecology left to do).
@@Freesciencelessons is stopping distance the same as reaction time?
No, stopping distance is thinking distance (reaction time) + braking distance.
@@Freesciencelessons Will we get any marks in the exam for defining stopping distance as anything other than that in the exam?
Please can you make a video about classification in Biology
Yes that will be coming up in the next few weeks.
question:is it necessary to revise the bars of the thinking and braking distances
surely having a distraction wont increase your reaction time it will decrease it
Decreasing your reaction time means that you are reacting faster (in a shorter time). Distractions have the opposite effect (ie a longer reaction time).
