The answer depends on compared to what?
Compared to driving at 50 km per hour, the braking (not breaking!) distance would be longer, compared to 200 km per hour it would be longer.

Why is the braking distance longer when the car is travelling at a higher speed?
Inertia.
Do heavier vehicles require a longer or shorter stopping distance?
longer
Does speeding have an effect on braking distance?
Yes, the faster you are moving the longer it will take to stop.
What does it mean to travel at 60 miles per hour?
It means that if you travel for an hour you will have covered a distance of 60 miles. If you travel for a longer or shorter time you will cover a proportionally longer or shorter distance.
When driving fifty miles per hours how far will it take you to stop?
On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance. Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
How can a lever generate a large force?
A lever works against a fulcrum. If there is a shorter section of the lever at one end of the fulcrum and a longer section at the other end, then you can exert a force on the longer end of the lever, and have a greater force exerted on the shorter end. That is because you are moving the long end through a longer distance than the shorter end moves, and all the force exerted over the longer distance is then effectively compressed into the shorter distance.
What is better a longer or shorter arm on a trebucht?
A longer arm makes more velocity, longer distance, and more height
What affects breaking distance?
Several factors can affect braking distance in a motor vehicle.Speed, the faster you are travelling means a longer braking distance.Drivers reaction time, the road surface, efficiency of the brakes, efficiency of the tyres, and any combination of these factors.
Will a shorter pendulum swing faster than a longer one?
no the bob on the shorter one has less distance per period to travel
Will a longer pendulum swing faster than a shorter one?
no the bob on the shorter one has less distance per period to travel
What is the distance between Antarctica and Greenland?
Longer than your finger but shorter than Earth to Mars
What happens if traction control and abs are not working on audi?
Your braking distance will be longer, and it'll be harder to control the car on a slippery surface.
