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.
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.
Average speed.
If the average speed of the car....Here is an unfinished question. The total distance is average speed times time. But since average speed is gotten by dividing total distance by the time, then it's a kind of circular question.
Total distance traveled / time
The overall stopping distance would be around 122m (400ft) This is made up of a thinking distance of 24m (79ft) and an actual stopping distance of 98m (321ft). The thinking distance is around 3m for every 10mph of speed and the overall stopping distance is calculated as follows: 2x20 ft at 20mph 2.5x30 ft at 30mph 3x40 ft at 40mph 3.5x50 ft at 50mph 4x60 ft at 60mph 4.5x70 at 70mph 5x80 at 80mph = 400 ft james s
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.
That depends on type of vehicle, vehicle condition, weight in or being towed by vehicle, tire condition and model, ABS equipped? all sorts of things.
Stopping distance also increases.
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.
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.
As a vehicle's speed increases, its stopping distance will also increase. This is because the kinetic energy of the vehicle increases with speed, requiring more distance to come to a complete stop once the brakes are applied. Additionally, reaction time and road conditions can also affect stopping distance.
The stopping distance of a vehicle is determined by factors such as the reaction time of the driver, the speed of the vehicle, road conditions (e.g., wet or dry pavement), tire traction, and the vehicle's braking system's effectiveness. A longer reaction time, a higher speed, poor traction, and a longer braking distance can all contribute to increasing the stopping distance.
It increases faster than the speed increase ... approximately the square of the speed. So twice the speed results in 4 times the stopping distance.
3 seconds behind him, no matter the speed on dry pavement. More on wet pavement.
When a vehicle increases its speed, the stopping distance also increases. Stopping distance is dependent on the vehicle's speed, the reaction time of the driver, and the braking distance required to come to a stop. With higher speeds, it takes longer for the vehicle to come to a complete stop, resulting in a longer stopping distance.
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.
If a vehicle's speed increases, its stopping distance will also increase. This is due to the kinetic energy of the vehicle increasing with speed, requiring more distance and time to bring the vehicle to a halt.
