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.

What would be the total stopping distance at a speed of 60 miles per hour?
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.
If your speed triples you need times the distance to stop?
If your speed triples, the distance required to stop increases by a factor of nine. This is because stopping distance is proportional to the square of the speed. Therefore, if you increase your speed by three times, the stopping distance becomes three squared, which equals nine times the original distance.
How is distance and time related to the speed of an object?
In the case of constant speed: distance = speed x time. Or, Total distance = Average speed * Total Time
How do you fing the speed in Algebra?
Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time.Instantaneous Speed = Derivative of Distance with respect to Time.
What two quantities do you need to know how to calculate average speed?
To calculate average speed, you need to know the total distance traveled and the total time taken to cover that distance. The average speed is then determined by dividing the total distance by the total time. The formula is: average speed = total distance / total time.
Total stopping distance on dry pavement at the speed of 30 mph is about?
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.
What factor does NOT affect The Total Stopping Distance of a Vehicle?
The color of the vehicle does not affect the total stopping distance. Factors that do affect stopping distance include speed, road conditions, driver reaction time, and vehicle condition.
What is the Total stopping distance on dry pavement at the speed of 60 mph?
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.
What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?
Stopping distance also increases.
This is the distance your vehicle travels from the moment you first see a hazard to the moment you come to a full stop?
That distance is known as the total stopping distance, which consists of both the thinking distance (distance traveled while recognizing a hazard and reacting) and the braking distance (distance traveled from applying the brakes to coming to a complete stop). The total stopping distance can vary depending on factors such as speed, road conditions, and vehicle condition.
As a vehicles speed increases it's stopping distance?
As a vehicle's speed increases, its stopping distance will also increase. This is because the kinetic energy of the vehicle increases with speed, requiring more distance to come to a complete stop once the brakes are applied. Additionally, reaction time and road conditions can also affect stopping distance.
As speed increase the elements of your stopping distance and therefore your stopping distances as a whole?
Yes, as speed increases, both the reaction distance (distance traveled while identifying a hazard and initiating braking) and braking distance increase, leading to a longer total stopping distance. This is due to the greater momentum and energy that needs to be dissipated to come to a stop at higher speeds.
What determines the stopping distance?
Stopping distance as in braking distance: Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point where the brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is affected by the original speed of the vehicle, the type of brake system in use, the reaction time of the driver/rider and the cefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface.
As a vehicles speed increases what happens to stopping distance?
It increases faster than the speed increase ... approximately the square of the speed. So twice the speed results in 4 times the stopping distance.
What is the safest distance to follow a motorcycle?
3 seconds behind him, no matter the speed on dry pavement. More on wet pavement.
What happens to the stopping distance when a vehicle increases it's speed?
When a vehicle increases its speed, the stopping distance also increases. Stopping distance is dependent on the vehicle's speed, the reaction time of the driver, and the braking distance required to come to a stop. With higher speeds, it takes longer for the vehicle to come to a complete stop, resulting in a longer stopping distance.
How does speed effect stopping distance?
Speed directly affects stopping distance: the faster a vehicle is traveling, the longer it will take to come to a complete stop. This is due to the increased momentum and energy that needs to be dissipated through braking. In general, the higher the speed, the longer the stopping distance.
