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.
How will the total distance traveled by a car in 2 hours be affected if the average speed of a car?
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.
What is total distance and total time used to calculate?
Average speed.
Stopping distance of a car traveling at 80mph?
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
How do you get the average speed?
Total distance traveled / time
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.
What is the Total stopping distance on dry pavement at the speed of 60 mph?
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.
What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?
Stopping distance also increases.
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.
What determines the stopping distance?
Stopping distance as in braking distance: Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point where the brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is affected by the original speed of the vehicle, the type of brake system in use, the reaction time of the driver/rider and the cefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface.
As a vehicles speed increases it's stopping distance?
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.
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.
What is a total stopping distance?
Total stopping distance is the sum of the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a hazard (reaction distance) and the distance it takes to come to a complete stop once the brakes are applied (braking distance). Factors such as speed, road conditions, and vehicle type can affect both components. This measurement is crucial for ensuring safe stopping distances in various driving situations. Understanding total stopping distance helps drivers maintain a safe following distance to avoid collisions.
How can stopping distance be checked on dry pavement at night?
To check stopping distance on dry pavement at night, conduct a controlled test in a safe, open area away from traffic. Use a vehicle with working headlights and ensure visibility is adequate. Accelerate to a specific speed and apply the brakes firmly while measuring the distance it takes to come to a complete stop, using markers or a measuring tape. Repeat the test multiple times for accuracy and consistency.
As a vehicles speed increases what happens to 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.
What is the safest distance to follow a motorcycle?
3 seconds behind him, no matter the speed on dry pavement. More on wet pavement.
If you go twice as fast will your stopping distance increase by two or four times?
If you go twice as fast, your stopping distance will increase by four times. This is because the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the speed. Therefore, if speed doubles, the stopping distance increases by a factor of two squared, which is four.
