Some of the kinetic energy of a body in motion is used up in overcoming friction, which acts in the direction opposite to that of the motion. The reduction in energy means that the stopping force needs less time to do its work.

What would be the total stopping distance at a speed of 60 miles per hour?
The stopping distance, after decelerating from 60 mph to 0 mph, will depend on the efficiency of the brakes, the friction between the tyres and the road surface and the mass of the vehicle.The initial speed alone cannot give you an answer.
The increase in time and cost with distance?
The increase in time And cost with distance is referred to as friction of distance
What is the equal distance if you travel 45 miles stopping 9 times?
You're stopping every 5 miles, on the average.
Stopping distance at 30 mph?
23 meters on a dry pavement.
What happens to the stopping distance of cars as tires get old and worn?
The distance needs to be further apart from the car in front
Does friction affect stopping distance?
Yes, friction affects stopping distance. The greater the friction the lower the stopping distance; the lower the friction the greater the stopping distance.
How does friction on tires effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
How does friction affect the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface road conditions including skidding braking force braking distance thinking distance and stopping distance?
Tyre surface: If the tyre is new, it will have surface with depressions which will offer more friction compared to old tyre whose surface-depressions are worn out and it is more flat, so it offers less friction. Therefore, new tyre will have less stopping distance, as force of friction is more. Thinking distance is affected neither by friction between tyre and road, nor by friction between brake and tyre. If road has a wet surface, it has less friction so the vehicle will skid farther, and vice versa. The braking force, i.e, friction between tyre and brake is unaffected by road condition or tyre surface. Hence the distance the vehicle travels WHILE retarding due to "braking force", is not same as stopping distance, because even when the wheels are stopped rotating due to braking force, the car will skid a little distance- this total distance is the stopping distance.
What does wet road conditions affect on a car?
Stopping distance
Friction affects stopping distance of a toy car rolling down?
AnswerYes, but usually for most wheels it's minimal
The stopping distance at 50 mph is?
Stopping distance mostly depends on various factors 1.Width of tyres. 2.Road friction and wetness. 3.weight of your vehicle. For safe driving a minimum of 52metres or more is considerable.
What factors make a car stop more slowly?
Friction. Friction would affect how fast a car stopped (i.e. lots of friction equals fast stopping). The friction would be affected by the road conditions (icy roads less friction), tire condition (wore down gives less friction), mass of car (as if the mass is large it will have more momentum and therefore will be harder to stop, a=F/m so if mass is large deceleration will be smaller) and the reaction time will affect the total stopping time (but not the braking time).
How does speed affect stopping?
The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96
What determines the stopping distance?
Stopping distance as in braking distance: Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point where the brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is affected by the original speed of the vehicle, the type of brake system in use, the reaction time of the driver/rider and the cefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface.
What is the distance your vehicle travels while stopping?
This distance your vehicle travels while stopping is?total stopping distance
How does kinetic affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 60 mph?
The kinetic energy of the vehicle when it is travelling faster is four times as great. It the brakes apply the same retardation and the friction from the tires on the road surface is unchanged then the stopping time will be four times as long.
Friction helps in stopping quickly?
no, it does not,.
