An old car, with out ABS , is moving down the road at a speed , V. Ahead is an accident . The driver has two choices to stop: either locks the brakes or skid to a stop , or pumps the brakes , keep the wheels rolling until coming to a stop . Which will get the car to stop more quickly ? why ? identify any assumptions you make in answering this question .
Pumping the brakes will get the car to stop more quickly . This is because pumping the brakes will be a combination of static and rolling friction . But if the driver locks the brakes and the car skids then threre will be only sliding friction acting on it . Sliding friction will be lesser than the static friction acting on it during pumping . Thus if the brakes are locked the vehicle will take longer to stop .
