Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC)
questions and answers 2024
Three (3) main factors that directly impact basic motor vehicle operations are: - -
Vehicle
-Driver
-Roadway
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
remain in motion until acted upon by an outside force.
3) Friction
Is resistance between two objects rubbing against each other.
* Rolling Friction
* Sliding Friction
4) Weight Shift (or Transfer)
,Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC)
questions and answers 2024
Is a change in load placed on vehicle wheels/tires while in motion. More weight
over the tire means more tread is on the road surface. Less weight over the tire is
more likely 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.
Inspections conducted by officers are made when the patrol car is stationary and
in motion. - True

questions and answers 2024
Vehicle Inspection Process - 1) Maintenance
2) Exterior
3) Engine Compartment
4) Tires
5) Breaks
6) Interior
7) Trunk
8) Performance and Response (In Motion)
Human error is responsible for 90% of all vehicle crashes, which makes drivers the
most critical factor in motor vehicle operations. - True
Things that may affect the DRIVER factor. - - Driver's Attitude
- Distracted Driving
- Fatigue
- Seating Position
- Steering Wheel Hand Position
