AQA GCSE Physics Stopping Distances, Reaction Time and Braking Worksheet
Practise AQA GCSE thinking and braking distances, reaction time, stopping data and brake heating. Includes worked answers and labelled Higher and Physics tasks.
What is covered
Questions and skills covered
The worksheet contains 8 pages of printable questions. A separate 8-page solutions PDF makes it easy to mark, review or share answers after the activity.
- Stopping Distances, Reaction Time and Braking
- 24-part shared core. Q5 graph is Separate Physics only; Q6 braking-force estimates are Higher only. Choose the printed pathway.
- Apply physics to measurements, calculations and evidence.
About this activity
Use cycle-delivery stopping tests to calculate thinking distances, compare dry and wet braking, explain brake heating and evaluate reaction-time evidence. The worked solutions model clear causal explanations and include labelled route-specific questions.
