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.

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.


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.


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 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.


How long does to take to drive 420 miles at 60 miles per hour?

Average speed = total distance / total time Therefore, total time = total distance / average speed = 420 miles / 60 miles per hour = 7 hours It takes 7 hours to drive 420 miles at 60 miles per hour


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 is the element of total stopping distance?

Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.


Non-example of instantaneous speed?

An example of non-instantaneous speed would be the average speed of a car over a distance of 100 miles, calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken to cover that distance.


What does your total stopping distance includes?

The total stopping distance includes the perception distance, reaction time and braking distance. The distance that your vehicle is traveling and then pressing on the brake after seeing a hazard, is the total stopping distance.


How does speed affect stopping?

The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96


What is average speed and how do you calculate it?

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to cover that distance. It is a measure of how fast an object is moving on average over a certain period of time. The formula to calculate average speed is: Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time.


What is the distance your vehicle travels while stopping?

The distance your vehicle travels while stopping, known as the stopping distance, is the sum of the reaction distance and the braking distance. The reaction distance is the distance your vehicle travels from the moment you perceive a hazard until you physically hit the brakes. The braking distance is the distance your vehicle travels once the brakes are applied until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Factors such as speed, road conditions, and vehicle condition can all affect the overall stopping distance.
