That all depends upon the deceleration the car experiences.
The more braking there is, the greater the deceleration and the shorter the stopping time.
In the UK Highway Code, travelling at 15 mph under emergency braking it would take 15/22 ≈ 0.68 seconds for the thinking plus 15×3/44 = 1 1/44 ≈ 1.02 seconds for the actual stopping, a total of 1 31/44 ≈ 1.70 seconds (covering 15 + 11¼ = 26¼ ft).
Note that these figures have not been updated in years, but the braking of cars has improved, so you should be able to stop in less time.

If a car traveling 30 miles per hour can stop in 50 feet how many feet will it take the same car to stop when it is travelling 20 miles per hour?
If there is constant acceleration and deceleration then it would be 33.3 ft to stop
How many seconds will it take for a car to stop if it is traveling at a speed of 40 miles per hour?
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.
How many feet does it take to stop a two ton truck?
That depends on how fast the truck is traveling.
If various vehicles are traveling at 30 mph on a straight road which would be the hardest to stop?
The hardest to stop in this case is the vehicle with the largest mass - for example, a big truck.
If a car traveling at 30meters per second slows to a stop in 15 seconds what was the cars acceleration?
(change in velocity)/(change in time)=avg. acceleration (-30 m/s)/(15s)= -2 m/s2
How long does it take to stop if you are traveling 45mph?
Well really it depends on how large the the car is. but at an average it would take about 4 seconds

2 seconds to 5 seconds , long enough to check that all directions are safe.
When travailing at 55mph how many feet do you need to stop?
when traveling at 55mph, how many feet do you need to stop
If a train is traveling at 50 feet per second and experiences an acceleration of 10 feet per second how many seconds will it take to stop?
Well if it accelerates, it speeds up so it won't stop. If you mean decelarate, it decreases 10 ft/s every second, so 50/10 is 5 seconds

Speed= Distance / time => Distance = Speed x Time =16x8 = 128m
Who is at fault if car is traveling strait and other driver is coming out of a side street with a stop sign and t bones car traveling straight?
The car at fault would be the one leaving the stop sign because it's failing to yield to the car traveling straight (that is, if the vehicle going straight has no stop sign).
