It is because the ice makes the friction between the tires and the pavement
greater.

Most cars can stop from 60 mph in about 100 feet or so. If the relationship is linear then a car should stop from 30 mph in about 50 feet.
If you're talking about when two cars approach a stop sign at the same time, it means that the car to the right has right of way.
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.
Depends upon conditions. Studies show that Most cars with ABS stop faster on wet and even dry pavement. However ABS cars take longer to stop on ice, snow, and gravel. Personally I really like them in rain, and CANNOT STAND THEM on snow/gravel.
Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars.
On wet pavement, it will take your vehicle about twice as long to stop compared to dry pavement. This is due to reduced tire grip and increased distance needed for braking on wet surfaces. Drive cautiously and leave extra space between cars to account for longer stopping distances in wet conditions.
They can stop including your dependents whenever you desire if they are no longer living with you or are covered elsewhere. If you mean how long can you keep them covered, the answer is up to 26 years old if you desire such.
If you drive on uneven pavement for about 5k miles non stop it will, but off and on in construction zones it wont.
As trucks are generally heavier than cars they require a longer distance to stop.

Longer than your lifetime. Especially if we move towards the natural gas for cars and everything else we can.
Electric cars are one of the best options for reducing pollution because they produce zero emissions. Hybrid cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are also alternatives that help lower pollution levels compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Carpooling, using public transportation, or cycling are other sustainable transportation options to reduce pollution.
