En las curvas el vehículo tiende a salirse de la calzada (por la fuerza centrífuga). ¿Cómo se puede evitar?
On bends the vehicle tends to leave the carriageway (because of centrifugal force). How can this be avoided?
- AReduciendo la velocidad antes de la curva y acelerando suavemente al salir.By reducing speed before the bend and accelerating gently when coming out of it.
- BFrenando en la curva.By braking on the bend.
- CAcelerando antes de entrar en la curva.By accelerating before entering the bend.
Show answer
Correct answer
- AReduciendo la velocidad antes de la curva y acelerando suavemente al salir.By reducing speed before the bend and accelerating gently when coming out of it.
Explanation
Centrifugal force pushes us to keep going in a straight line, that is, towards the outside of the bend. Centrifugal force must be counteracted by reducing speed.
