45 feet
You're stopping every 5 miles, on the average.
The stopping distance depends, not only on the car and its speed but also onthe reflexes of the driver,the mass of the car INCLUDING all passengers and luggage,the condition of the brakes,the tread on the tyres, andthe condition of the road.
Depends what car it is.
Stopping Distance = about 56.25 feet.
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.
The typical BREAKING distance from 50mph is 38meters, but the overall stopping distance is 53meters (overall stopping distance is made up of thinking distance, which is 15meters in this case, + breaking distance)
Four miles
You're stopping every 5 miles, on the average.
Total stopping distance and 55 mph including reaction time is approximately 216 feet on dry pavement. On wet pavement it will be about 270 feet. This is assuming you have good tires and average reaction time.
The stopping distance depends, not only on the car and its speed but also onthe reflexes of the driver,the mass of the car INCLUDING all passengers and luggage,the condition of the brakes,the tread on the tyres, andthe condition of the road.
5o miles per hour is 73.3 feet per second. The average stopping distance for the breaks at that speed is 128 feet. Now add to that the average reaction time for a driver at that speed which is 3/4 second so we add 55 feet gives us a total of 183 feet.

44 feet
Stopping Distance = about 56.25 feet.
Driving is 4,135 miles including ferries. The flight distance is about 2,500 miles.
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.

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 depends on the road conditions, as well the state of your brakes.
