Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC)
Questions and Answers (Verified by Expert)
1.Three (3) main factors that directly impact basic motor vehicle operationsare::-
Vehicle
-Driver
-Roadway
2.Laws of Physics::1) Kinetic energy
Energy an object possesses by being in motion.
2)Momentum
Is the combined mass and velocity of an object. An object in motion tends to remainin motion
until acted upon by an outside force.
3)Friction
Is resistance between two objects rubbing against each other.Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC).pdf file:///C:/Users/BADLANDS/Downloads/Emergency%20Vehicle%20O...

* Sliding Friction
4)Weight Shift (or Transfer)
Is a change in load placed on vehicle wheels/tires while in motion. More weight overthe tire
means more tread is on the road surface. Less weight over the tire is morelikely to cause a slide
or skid.
* Longitudinal
Occurs when vehicles are accelerating or braking.
* Lateral
Is side-to-side and occurs when vehicles turn.
5)Centrifugal Force
Centrifugal force pulls a moving object outward from the center of rotation.
6)Centripetal Force
Pulls a moving object inward toward the center of rotation.
