The total stopping distance for a car travelling at 30 mph on a dry surface is about 75 feet. However, you may wish to note that in most countries, driving a car on the pavement is illegal.
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.
Average speed.
If the average speed of the car....Here is an unfinished question. The total distance is average speed times time. But since average speed is gotten by dividing total distance by the time, then it's a kind of circular question.
Total distance traveled / time
The overall stopping distance would be around 122m (400ft) This is made up of a thinking distance of 24m (79ft) and an actual stopping distance of 98m (321ft). The thinking distance is around 3m for every 10mph of speed and the overall stopping distance is calculated as follows: 2x20 ft at 20mph 2.5x30 ft at 30mph 3x40 ft at 40mph 3.5x50 ft at 50mph 4x60 ft at 60mph 4.5x70 at 70mph 5x80 at 80mph = 400 ft james s
That depends on type of vehicle, vehicle condition, weight in or being towed by vehicle, tire condition and model, ABS equipped? all sorts of things.
With increased speed, stopping distance increases.
Stopping distance also increases.
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
It increases faster than the speed increase ... approximately the square of the speed. So twice the speed results in 4 times the stopping distance.
3 seconds behind him, no matter the speed on dry pavement. More on wet pavement.
using the formula, speed squared divided by 20 plus speed gives 40 feet approximate stopping distance at 20mph.
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.
No - the stopping distance depends on the speed of the vehicle - it' not simply a case of 'doubling-up'.
No it decreases it.
The distance needed to stop also increases.
Yes
