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 would your stopping distance be if you travel 30 miles per hour?

Depends what car it is.


How much is the stopping distance for 70 miles per hour?

It depends on the road conditions, as well the state of your brakes.


How long does it take to go from Colorado to Ohio on a train going 35 miles an hour?

How many miles do you cover in 4 hours going 55 miles per hour?

Distance = rate * time. (55 miles/hour) * (4 hours) = 220 miles

velocity = distance / time time = distance / velocity time = 343 miles / 70 miles per hour = 4.9 hours


How far does a car going 60 miles per hour travel in one minute?

distance = rate x time distance = (60 miles / hour) x (1 hour / (60 minutes)) x (1 minute) distance = 60 miles / hour x hour / (60 minutes) x 1 minute distance = 60 miles / (60 minutes) x 1 minute distance = 60 miles / 60 x 1 distance = 1 mile

1 hour exactly as mph means miles per hour, i.e. miles in every hour


How long will it take to drive 44 miles going 65 miles per hour on a freeway?

speed = distance/time So rearrange the equationand you get - time = distance/speed 44 miles/65 miles per hour = 0.676 of an hour This translates to 40 min 37sec :)


Under favorable circumstances including reaction time a motor vehicle with good brakes going 50 miles per hour can be stopped within how many feet?

The typical BREAKING distance from 50mph is 38meters, but the overall stopping distance is 53meters (overall stopping distance is made up of thinking distance, which is 15meters in this case, + breaking distance)
