Question

three factors that determine force of impact are:
traction, brakes, and steering
tire tread depth, visibility, and center of gravity
speed, weight, and distance between impact and stopping

Explanation:

To determine the factors of impact force, we recall physics principles (or driver safety knowledge). Impact force relates to kinetic energy and deceleration. Speed (kinetic energy depends on speed squared), weight (mass, part of kinetic energy), and stopping distance (affects deceleration) are key. The first option lists vehicle control components, the second lists tire, visibility, and balance factors—neither relate to impact force directly. The third option’s speed, weight, and stopping distance align with impact force determinants (e.g., $F = \frac{\Delta KE}{d}$ where $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, so speed, mass/weight, and distance affect force).

Answer:

The correct option is: speed, weight, and distance between impact and stopping
