As a vehicles speed increases it's stopping distance?
With increased speed, stopping distance increases.
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.
What happens to the stopping distance when the vehicle speed increases?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
Does traveling at a high speed require greater stopping distance?
Yes
How does speed affect stopping?
The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96

With increased speed, stopping distance increases.
What would be the total stopping distance at a speed of 60 miles per hour?
The stopping distance, after decelerating from 60 mph to 0 mph, will depend on the efficiency of the brakes, the friction between the tyres and the road surface and the mass of the vehicle.The initial speed alone cannot give you an answer.
What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?
Stopping distance also increases.
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 Stopping distance at 20 mph?
using the formula, speed squared divided by 20 plus speed gives 40 feet approximate stopping distance at 20mph.
Is it twice the stopping distance for a car in freezing conditions?
No - the stopping distance depends on the speed of the vehicle - it' not simply a case of 'doubling-up'.
Does reducing speed increases a drivers stopping distance?
No it decreases it.
What happens to the stopping distance when the vehicle speed increases?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
Determine the stopping distance by these factors?
The two major factors are; friction between tires and road; friction between brake pads and rotors. Wind speed plays a small role that is usually much less of an effect than the aforementioned.
