Stopping a vehicle with good brakes from 20 miles per hour under good conditions requires about 80 feet. Leaving at least 80 feet will allow you to stop safely without hitting the car in front of you.

Calculation of speed requires distance as well as time. No information on distance given.
They are the same- weight x distance equals weight times distance.
This depends heavily on the vehicle in question. Stopping distance is a function of the mass of the vehicle, the width of the tires (i.e. friction area in contact with the pavement), and the type and "strength" of the brakes on the vehicle. A typical mid-size sedan like a Toyota Camry can stop in roughly 30 feet from 30mph. A large SUV like a Ford Explorer requires about 35-40 feet, while a Semi-Tractor trailer cab with loaded trailer can stop in about 40 feet, despite weighing over 10 times that of the SUV, since it has much more powerful brakes and much more wheel contact area.
Trains require a long stopping distance.
The momentum of an object is directly related to its stopping distance. A larger momentum means more force is needed to stop the object, resulting in a longer stopping distance. Conversely, a smaller momentum requires less force and results in a shorter stopping distance.
Stopping on snow and ice may require up to ten times more distance than normal conditions due to reduced tire traction. It is important to drive cautiously and leave plenty of space between your vehicle and others to allow for increased stopping distances. Using winter tires or chains can also help improve traction on snowy and icy roads.
Stop. Brake. With increase weight, the stopping distance increases.

Yes, the mass of a car does impact its stopping distance. A heavier car will generally require a longer distance to come to a stop compared to a lighter car, all other factors being equal. This is because the heavier car has more momentum and requires more force to stop.
Distance to or from requires at least two locations.
gravity is the only force that requires contact and cannot act at a distance .
Rusting requires conditions such as moisture and air (oxygen).
