Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Reaction distance, brake distance
Reaction distance refers to the distance the vehicle traveled within the driver's reaction time, including the brake reaction time (from the discovery of the stimulus to the movement of the foot to the brake pedal), the brake action time (from the start of the brake pedal to the maximum braking force), and the continuous braking time (from the maximum braking force to the car stopping). Braking distance referred to the distance traveled by a vehicle from the beginning of braking to the complete standstill of the vehicle when the vehicle was moving at a certain speed. It was the distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment the driver stepped on the brake pedal to the moment the vehicle came to a complete stop at a certain initial speed. It included reaction distance and braking distance. The smaller the braking distance, the better the braking performance of the car. The length of the reaction distance depended on the driving speed and reaction time. The higher the driving speed or the longer the reaction time, the longer the reaction distance. The reaction time was directly related to the driver's sensitivity and technical proficiency. Usually, the reaction time was 0.75 to 1 second. For example, when the driving speed was 30 km/h and the reaction time was 1 second, the reaction distance was 8.33 meters. The length of the braking distance was related to the driving speed, the braking force, and the friction coefficient. The higher the driving speed, the longer the braking distance. The driving speed was proportional to the square of the braking distance. The calculation method (commonly used internationally) was: Braking distance = vehicle speed/10 * 3+ vehicle speed/10 * vehicle speed/10, but there would be differences if the tires were different (such as summer tires and winter tires) or the road conditions were different. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Safety distance, braking distance, reaction distance, subject one
In subject one, stopping sight distance included reaction distance, stopping distance, and safety distance. Reaction distance refers to the distance that the car travels from the moment the driver finds an obstacle in front of him and decides to take braking measures to the moment the brakes really start to work. Braking distance refers to the distance from the moment the brakes take effect to the moment the car comes to a complete stop. The safe distance (in the concept of stopping sight distance) was the minimum safe distance that should be maintained between a car and an obstacle after it had completely stopped. For example, in some scenarios, the safety distance was stipulated: on the highway, when the speed was lower than 100 km/h, a safety distance of more than 50 meters should be maintained from the car in front; when the speed was higher than 100 km/h, a safety distance of more than 100 meters should be maintained from the car in front; when the speed was equal to 100 km/h, the minimum horizontal distance was 1.5 meters, the safety distance was 100 meters, and the dangerous distance was 50 meters. Also, in low visibility weather conditions, when the visibility is less than 200 meters, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and the distance between the car in front of the same lane should be at least 100 meters; when the visibility is less than 50 meters, it should leave the highway. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

What is the difference between the braking distance, the reaction distance, and the safety distance?
Braking distance refers to the distance traveled by the vehicle when the vehicle is at a certain speed. It is one of the key parameters to measure the braking performance of the vehicle, including the reaction distance and the braking distance. The reaction distance referred to the distance the vehicle traveled within the driver's reaction time. The reaction time here included the brake reaction time (from the discovery of the stimulus to the movement of the foot to the brake pedal), the brake action time (from the start of the brake pedal to the maximum braking force), and the continuous braking time (from the maximum braking force to the car stopping). The safe distance refers to the necessary distance between the rear vehicle and the front vehicle to avoid accidental collisions. Its accurate measurement depends on the braking distance, but it also takes into account the driver's reaction time. Different driving speeds, weather conditions, types of vehicles, and road conditions had different requirements for the safe distance. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The furthest distance
'The Faraway Distance' was a movie about Xiao Tang who came to Taitung after breaking up with his girlfriend of many years and recorded his true confession. He sent the tape, hoping to redeem his former love, but his girlfriend had already moved out of her original residence. At the same time, Xiao Yun, an office worker, received a series of recordings sent to her previous tenant after moving to her new home. She had fallen into a love triangle, and the voice on the tape seemed to be guiding her to escape from the complicated emotional world. She decided to go to Taitung to find the source of the sound. Psychiatrist Ah Cai also decided to put everything aside and go to Taitung to find his lover from many years ago. In Tainan, Xiao Tang met Ah Cai during the recording process and helped him escape the danger of being blackmailed.

The distance of love?
😋I recommend the following two novels to you. They are both female novels. The male and female protagonists have no feelings for each other, so don't worry. 1. "The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder": The female protagonist has 3,000 cheats and is divided into pieces. The male protagonist is just the target of the mission. 2. "The Cheat Life of the Quick Wear: The Female Lead Travels Through Various Plot Scenes in the Quick Wear Space. There are no CP, so you can watch it without worry. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
