What else can I help you with?
How do you find braking distance when given velocity and reaction distance?
Decrease ..
A study was done to find if the different tire treads affect the braking distance of a car what is the independent variable?
The type of tread is the independent variable and the braking distance is the dependent variable.
What does braking distance mean?
Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop.
When the speed of a vehicle doubles the braking distance is increased by approximately?
When the speed of a vehicle doubles, the braking distance is increased by approximately four times. This is because the braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
When driving fifty miles per hours how far will it take you to stop?
On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance. Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
What is the distance you will travel after putting your foot on the brake?
Braking distance
What is braking and braking distances?
Braking in a moving vehicle is applying the brakes to slow or halt movement, usually by depressing a pedal. The braking distance is the distance between the time the brakes are applied and the time the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Braking distance changes with the weather?
in rain, snow or ice your tires have much less traction, and therefore need more braking distance.
How can one determine the stopping distance of a car?
The stopping distance of a car can be determined by considering the car's speed, reaction time of the driver, and the braking distance required to come to a complete stop. The stopping distance is the sum of the reaction distance (distance traveled during the driver's reaction time) and the braking distance (distance traveled while the brakes are applied). It can be calculated using the formula: Stopping distance Reaction distance Braking distance.
When speed is doubled the braking distance is doubled also?
This statement is not accurate. In reality, when speed is doubled, the braking distance is quadrupled, not doubled, assuming all other factors remain constant. This is because the braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the initial speed.
What tree things add up to total stopping distance?
Perception Distance, Reaction Distance and Braking Distance
What three things add up to total stop distance?
Perception Distance + Reaction Distance+ Braking Distance.
