The distance needed to stop also increases.
The distance needed to stop also increases.
With increased speed, stopping distance increases.
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.
Your speed increases
The distance needed to stop also increases.

Stopping distance also increases.
With increased speed, stopping distance increases.
It increases faster than the speed increase ... approximately the square of the speed. So twice the speed results in 4 times the stopping distance.
No it decreases it.
No - the stopping distance depends on the speed of the vehicle - it' not simply a case of 'doubling-up'.
Speed, weight of vehicle, condition of road surface, condition of tires, and reaction time of the driver.
ten feet for every ten miles an hour
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
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.
using the formula, speed squared divided by 20 plus speed gives 40 feet approximate stopping distance at 20mph.
