Stopping distance
It depends on the road conditions, as well the state of your brakes.
Less traction on a wet road so the stopping distance increases.

Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
you skid
Hand-eye coordination, thinking distance, drunkenness, tiredness, if your on drugs, if your listening to music/being distracted. Thats just about it Also speed and road conditions affect braking distance
That depends on 4 factors - size of vehicle you're driving, what you're towing/hauling, the road conditions, and if the vehicle is equipped with ABS or not.
frition force act on it
Tyre surface: If the tyre is new, it will have surface with depressions which will offer more friction compared to old tyre whose surface-depressions are worn out and it is more flat, so it offers less friction. Therefore, new tyre will have less stopping distance, as force of friction is more. Thinking distance is affected neither by friction between tyre and road, nor by friction between brake and tyre. If road has a wet surface, it has less friction so the vehicle will skid farther, and vice versa. The braking force, i.e, friction between tyre and brake is unaffected by road condition or tyre surface. Hence the distance the vehicle travels WHILE retarding due to "braking force", is not same as stopping distance, because even when the wheels are stopped rotating due to braking force, the car will skid a little distance- this total distance is the stopping distance.
If I gave you an answer I'd be lying. Take into consideration road conditions, tire tread and condition, brake pad/shoe condition etc etc.
That will depend on the weather, road conditions, the loading in YOUR car and the speed you are driving at. At all times you must make sure that your distance behind the car inform is more than your safe stopping distance.
