Question:

How to demonstrate Anti-locking braking system with a model?

I have a physics assignment to demonstrate a car safety feature with a model. I was given anti-locking braking system (ABS) as my feature. We have to bring in a model to demonstrate how the features works. I need help !!!! i have looked and asked everywhere and i need an answer ASAP !!

Answer:

I'm not really familiar with ABS brakes, but I note that you haven't provided any information such as: - your age/level - if you understand how ABS works or not - you level of model-making ability and the materials your are able to work with - you budget - how much time is available to make the model - if this has to be a working model or not - what sort of 'demonstration' is required - e.g. is the model actually fully working or can you just talk-through how a non-working model works? etc. About the simplest approach would be: a) read-through several sources and get clear in your own mind how ABS works (e.g. see link - but find some different ones and read through them too) b) make a simplified cardboard model with all components labelled; it wouldn't be too hard to have a rotating wheel for example; note that you probably only need to do one wheel - not all 4. c) make a series of presentation- cards explaining what happens at each step during operation; cards refer to the labelled components in the model and be in a clear sequence. Of course that may be unsuitable, but with no information about what is required, that's about the best I can do.
