Stopping distance is comprised of three main components: perception distance, reaction distance, and braking distance. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while the driver recognizes a need to stop. Reaction distance is the distance covered during the driver's reaction time before applying the brakes. Finally, braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the brakes are applied until it comes to a complete stop.

The stopping distance of a car when it is going at 50 miles per hour?

5o miles per hour is 73.3 feet per second. The average stopping distance for the breaks at that speed is 128 feet. Now add to that the average reaction time for a driver at that speed which is 3/4 second so we add 55 feet gives us a total of 183 feet.


What is the stopping distance for a car at 70 mph?

It depends on what kind of car, and how good the breaks are. Your time to react would be about 70 feet. Your breaking distance would be around 245 feet. Add that up and you get 315 feet.

If you should add one second of following distance for each environment Factor how many seconds should you add for nighttime and rain fog?

For nighttime driving, it's recommended to add at least 1 second for increased stopping distance and reduced visibility. In rainy conditions, you should also add 1 second due to slippery roads and decreased traction. For fog, it's advisable to add another 1 second because of significantly low visibility. Therefore, the total recommended additional following distance would be 3 seconds.

How do you win the science olympiad scrambler?

Think about how to get the maximum amount of energy out of the falling mass. Then think about what would allow your vehicle to go as fast as possible on the smallest amount of energy. Then add in a method to stop the vehicle at a predeterminds distance. Keep in mind that skidding is unpredictable so any system that locks the wheels is likely to be unpredicable. Also keep in mind that you need to find a balance between speed and accurate stopping distance. The faster you go the harder it will be to get an accurate stopping distance. The are many places you can go for ideas, just do a search of Science Olympiad Scrambler.
