Stopping distances are measured in feet not in seconds. At 40 mph you're traveling 58.7 feet per second. The average driver reaction time is about 3/4 second which equates to 44 feet. After applying the brakes it will take approximately 82 feet to stop the vehicle. The total stopping distance for a car traveling 40 mph will be 126 feet when you include reaction time and actual stopping distance of the vehicle. If you divide 126' x 58.7' which is the distance traveled per second you get 2.14 seconds. This is assuming you're paying attention and have average reaction time while driving.
To stop a vehicle traveling at 20 miles per hour, good brakes will effectively decelerate the vehicle within a safe distance. The stopping distance depends on factors like the vehicle's weight, road conditions, and brake efficiency. Generally, it takes about 20-30 feet to stop from this speed, assuming optimal conditions. Proper brake maintenance and tire health are crucial for achieving effective stopping power.
You're stopping every 5 miles, on the average.
The stopping distance at 40 mph typically includes the reaction distance and braking distance. On average, the total stopping distance can be around 118 feet (approximately 36 meters) under ideal conditions. The reaction distance (the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time) is about 44 feet, while the braking distance is roughly 74 feet. Factors like road conditions, vehicle type, and driver alertness can significantly affect these distances.

When traveling 30-mph, the braking distance is 45-feet, and the total stopping distance is 75-feet. This is the length of a semi-truck and trailer.
about 22 metres
To calculate the stopping distance, we need more information such as the mass of the car and the acceleration. The force alone is not sufficient to determine the stopping distance.
Yes it will need the stopping distance of a automobile traveling at the same speed and then it will need a few hundred more feet as well.
The stopping distance can be calculated using the equation: stopping distance = (initial velocity^2) / (2 * deceleration). The deceleration can be calculated using the formula: deceleration = force / mass. Plugging in the values and calculating will give you the stopping distance.
Yes, traveling at a higher speed increases the kinetic energy of the vehicle, which means it will require a greater stopping distance to come to a complete stop. This is because the vehicle needs more time and distance to reduce its speed gradually.
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.
The stopping distance of a vehicle can be determined by considering the reaction time of the driver, the braking distance of the vehicle, and the speed at which the vehicle is traveling. The stopping distance is the sum of the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time and the distance traveled while the vehicle is braking to a complete stop. It is important to factor in variables such as road conditions, weather, and the condition of the vehicle's brakes when calculating stopping distance.
The stopping distance for a 3000kg car if 3000 N of force is applied when the car is traveling 10 ms is 50 meter. This is based on Newton's second law of force.
Need longer stopping distance.

At 20 mph, the average thinking distance is around 20 feet, while the braking distance is approximately 20 feet as well. Therefore, the overall stopping distance for a vehicle traveling at 20 mph would be around 40 feet.
