Braking delay
The braking deceleration , also negative acceleration , indicates how much a body is braked. The braking deceleration is given in the unit m / s².
The mean braking deceleration a of braking from speed v to zero with braking distance s is:
The mean deceleration of braking from speed v 2 to speed v 1 with braking distance s is:
Example: starting speed v 2 = 20 m / s, remaining speed v 1 = 10 m / s, braking distance s = 100 m:
The braking delay is z. Sometimes also given in fractions or multiples of the acceleration due to gravity .
meaning
The braking deceleration is an important criterion for the safety of vehicles and ships and should be as high as possible. When spacecraft re- enters, however, it must not exceed certain values depending on the payload and thermal load.
