Show answer
Correct answer
- ADistancia de reacción.Reaction distance.
The time from when we notice a danger until we react is called the reaction time. So the distance travelled during that time is called the reaction distance. The braking distance is the distance we travel from the moment we press the brake, that is, from the end of the reaction distance, until the vehicle stops.
