60 MPH = 88 fps. (fps=1.467 * MPH). If the vehicle deceleration rate is 20 fpsps, then stopping time = 88/20 = 4.4 seconds. Since there is a 1 second delay (driver reaction time) in hitting your brakes (both recognition and reaction time is often 2 seconds), the total time to stop is 5.4 seconds to 6.4 seconds.

Distance travled after 12 seconds at 87 miles per hour?

After 12 seconds at 87 miles per hour, the distance traveled can be calculated by multiplying the speed and time. First, convert 87 miles per hour to miles per second by dividing by 3600 (number of seconds in an hour). So, 87 miles per hour is approximately 0.024 miles per second. Multiply 0.024 miles per second by 12 seconds to get the distance traveled.
