Understanding Road Safety: The Impact of Speed, Conditions, and Driver Behavior

This educational topic explores how speed, road conditions, and driver behavior—including inattention and inexperience—contribute to vehicle crashes and their consequences. By the end of this unit, learners will understand the units of speed, distance, and time; be able to calculate formulas related to speed and energy; construct line graphs; and distinguish between mass and weight. Additionally, the topic covers the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces in accidents and the critical role of driver error in road safety.

  1. Y10 Science - Level 5 Road Safety Big Idea: Speed, Road Conditions and Driver Behaviour (inattention, inexperience) contribute to vehicle crashes and their consequences. • Desired Learning Outcomes • By the end of this topic you should: • Recognise the Units of speed, distance and time. • Be able to calculate and rearrange formulae for speed, pressure, force, kinetic energy and work. • Construct line graphs. • Understand the difference between mass and weight. • Understand the role of balanced and Unbalanced forces in road accidents. • Understand how speed and driver error contributes to injury and death on our roads

  2. Must Know Objectives Units of speed, distance and time. Calculate average speed of a journey. Construct a distance time graph and a v-t graph. Difference between mass and weight. Balanced and Unbalanced forces. Pressure = Force/area Work done = Fxd Should Know Objectives Calculate distance (under a v-t graph) Calculate acceleration. Acceleration due to gravity. F=ma. Kinetic energy = 1/2massv2 (conservation of)
