To slow down a vehicle by 'snubbing' the brakes means to reduce speed by how many km/h in three seconds?

  1. 5 km/h

  2. 8 km/h

  3. 10 km/h

  4. 12 km/h

The correct answer is: 8 km/h

"Snubbing" the brakes means to quickly and forcefully slam on the brakes, which would slow down a vehicle at a much faster rate than simply applying steady pressure to reduce speed. Therefore, in the given three seconds, 8 km/h is the most reasonable option for how much the vehicle's speed would decrease while "snubbing" the brakes. Option C (10 km/h) and D (12 km/h) may seem like plausible answers, but they would require either a longer time period or a less intense braking force to achieve that decrease in speed. Option A (5 km/h) is likely too slow of a decrease for a "snubbing" braking technique.
