What effects the distance a car takes to stop?
The speed; the quality of the braking system; the mass of the car; the time it takes the driver to notice a danger. The speed is especially important; other things being equal, braking distance is proportional to the square of the distance. That means that at twice the speed, the car will move 4 times as far while it brakes.
Double your speed double stopping distance?
When your speed is doubled, your braking distance is multiplied by four.
What factor besides speed is important when calculating braking distance?
driving safely 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 What factors affect the thinking distance:
As a vehicles speed increases it's stopping distance?
With increased speed, stopping distance increases.
Does the distance affect the speed of supply of electricity?
yes
Does Speed Affect Braking Distance Of A Vehicle?
Yes
How does mass speed of vehicle affect the braking distance?
t bvv
What things can affect braking distance?
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
Why factors affect your braking distance?
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
Why is the braking distance longer when the car is travelling at a higher speed?
Inertia.
How does distance and time affect the speed from object?
Distance and time do not, in general, affect the speed. Speed, however, can affect distance or time. Distance is directly proportional to speed, time is inversely proportional.
How do distance and time affect speed?
Because speed = distance/time

How does traction affect the speed of vehicles?
It affects it by killing people.
How does speed affect vehicles?
Speed has a direct affect on the magnitude of forces experienced by the vehicle. Force is mass x acceleration( or deceleration). This is why brakes/tires on performance cars are so much larger having to manage a great amount of energy during braking/cornering. Drag( the force of air on an object) is affected by speed, it goes up 4 times( quadruples) as speed doubles . It would take 4 times the current horsepower to double the vehicles top speed. This is why manufacturers/race teams spend millions of dollars in wind tunnel research/development. Drag even at highway speed a noticeable affect on fuel economy.
What is the formula for braking distance?
The minimum distance in which a vehicle can be brought to rest in an emergency from the moment that the driver notices danger ahead. Stopping distances of vehicles can be estimated by using the formula: stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance The thinking distance is the time taken for the driver to react by applying the brakes of the vehicle. This is known as the reaction time, and is about 0.1-0.3 seconds. As a general rule the breaking distance becomes four times greater as the speed of the car is doubled.I found this info athttp://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0030390.html
