Define braking distance as the distance travelled while the brakes are applied.

In the subtopic Stopping distances and safety, this learning objective focuses on define braking distance as the distance travelled while the brakes are applied. For AQA GCSE Physics 8463 Unit 4.5 Forces, keep the explanation inside Stopping distances and safety and Forces and motion. Approved keywords for this objective include braking distance and brakes. A strong answer separates distance and displacement, uses correct units where quantities are involved, and links the physical reasoning back to define braking distance as the distance travelled while the brakes are applied. This is not a generic revision point: it is specifically about Stopping distances and safety, Forces and motion, and the approved wording of the learning objective.
