The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However, the illumination provided by low beam lights, about 150 feet, does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations where stopping distances are two or more times longer than the illumination distance provided by low beam lights. a. True b. False

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

a. True

it is called kinetic energy
