What is the typical stopping distance for a car going 50MPH in meters?

Classic advice gives an estimation of 53.34m. How wet the conditions are, how worn your tyres are, what type of surface youre travelling on, how tired you are.. Too many factors to give a definiteive answer, but the UK highway code says 53m for a car on dry, firm surface with an alert driver. Be advised that these are the stopping distances for a 1970 Ford anglia with drum brakes. The stopping power of a modern car is far better; my Volvo S60 will emergency stop from 50mph in less than 20 metres, but this excludes thinking time, which can vary hugely depending on the driver

What is the typical stopping distance for a car going 50mph?
175 feet. The Oregon Drivers Handbook calculates it at closer to 240 feet. (of course many factors can make it more or less distance.)
Under favorable circumstances including reaction time a motor vehicle with good brakes going 50 miles per hour can be stopped within how many feet?
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)
Stopping distance of a car traveling at 80mph?
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
What is the typical overall stopping distance at 40mph?
120ft.I discovered a formula for calculating it for any given speed. I've tested it for 20mph, 30mph,40mph,50mph,60mph and 70mph. The formula is as follows:overall stopping distance in ft = Sp x (1 + Sp/20).Where Sp is the magnitude of the speed in mph.So at 40mph it is:40 x (1 + 40/20) = 50 x (1 + 2) = 40 x 3 = 120ft.
If you pitch 50mph at 46ft how fast is it at 24ft?
The speed is still 50mph, no matter the distance measured...
What is the thinking and stopping distance when travelling at 50mph in dry conditions?
50 Mph X 3.5 = 175 feet = 53.3 metressee http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/garage/stopmph.htm for explanation and various equations
How long will it take a trucker to drive 400 miles at 50 miles per hour?
8 hours at 50mph the whole time no stopping or getting slower or getting faster.
How fast is a cape hunting dog?
45-50mph and can maintain this speed for a long distance.
Driving at a rate of 50mph for 4 hours find the distance traveled?
200 miles
What is the diffrance between distance and displacement?
Distance is a scalar quantity, it is only a measurement. Whereas displacement is a vector quantity, it is both a measurement and a direction. Speed is scalar, velocity is vector. Speed=50mph, Velocity=50mph to the north. Pretty simple concept once you know the difference.
How much is 50mph in km?
50mph = 80.47kmh
How many hours to travel 318 miles at 50 mph?
time= distance/rate =318miles / 50mph =6.36 hours
