You're stopping every 5 miles, on the average.
about 600miles from the starting point, which would be X x 60)+123 +567 _ a=bsquare = csquare
Stopping distances are measured in feet not in seconds. At 40 mph you're traveling 58.7 feet per second. The average driver reaction time is about 3/4 second which equates to 44 feet. After applying the brakes it will take approximately 82 feet to stop the vehicle. The total stopping distance for a car traveling 40 mph will be 126 feet when you include reaction time and actual stopping distance of the vehicle. If you divide 126' x 58.7' which is the distance traveled per second you get 2.14 seconds. This is assuming you're paying attention and have average reaction time while driving.
It is not possible to compute the average distance from the information given. Average speed, yes; average distance, no.
The average speed is the total distance divided by the time taken to cover the distance.
You're stopping every 5 miles, on the average.
The average particle speed increases.
The average kinetic energy of colliding particles can be increased by increasing temperature.
275 feet
The average spped increase
Depends entirely on the size of the vehicle. The average stopping distance for a vehicle is around 160 feet. That includes 51 feet you will travel during your reaction time. And 109 feet braking distance.
YES
That depends on what vehicle you are stopping from 55 mph. the laws of physics come into play. The heavier the vehicle the longer the stopping distance. So I cannot give an accurate answer except to say that from 60 mph the average for a mid-sized car is around 135 feet.

The average distance for most students between home and college is about 51 miles. This average increases at higher ACT and SAT scores levels according to recent surveys.
