because there is less friction between the tyre and the road because of the water in between

Would the braking distance be longer or shorter if a driver drove at 100km per h?

The answer depends on compared to what? Compared to driving at 50 km per hour, the braking (not breaking!) distance would be longer, compared to 200 km per hour it would be longer.


What does your total stopping distance includes?

The total stopping distance includes the perception distance, reaction time and braking distance. The distance that your vehicle is traveling and then pressing on the brake after seeing a hazard, is the total stopping distance.


If traveling 60 mph how many feet would it take you to stop?

On dry pavement in the average car it will take 60 ft of thinking about it, & 180 ft of braking for a total of 240 ft. Double the braking distance on wet pavement for a total of 420 ft. On snow it is anyone's guess.


What is the thinking distance the braking distance and the overall stopping distance for a veichle travelling at 20mph?

At 20 mph, the average thinking distance is around 20 feet, while the braking distance is approximately 20 feet as well. Therefore, the overall stopping distance for a vehicle traveling at 20 mph would be around 40 feet.


How does friction affect the motion of a vehicle in the context of tire surface road conditions including skidding braking force braking distance thinking distance and stopping distance?

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.


How would a wet track affect the braking distance of a go kart?

A wet track would increase the braking distance of a go-kart due to reduced tire grip on the slippery surface. The water creates a layer between the tires and the track, leading to less friction and longer stopping distances. Additionally, the likelihood of skidding or hydroplaning increases, further complicating braking efficiency. Drivers may need to apply brakes earlier and more gently to maintain control.


What happen to the braking distance if the speed is doubled and why?

Hi there! Assuming that the deceleration (or negative acceleration, if you will) is constant and the same in both cases, you can use a special kinematic formula to solve the problem. The formula follows: (final velocity)^2 = (initial velocity)^2 + [ 2 * (deceleration) * (braking distance) ] Rearranged to our needs the formula reads: braking distance = [1/2] * -(initial velocity)^2 / (deceleration) * this equation assumes that the final velocity is zero If the initial speed were doubled then the general formula would read: braking distance = 2 * -(initial velocity)^2 / (deceleration) NOTICE that the two equations are the exact same except for the leading coefficients. 1/2 is assocaited with the braking distance of the normal velocity while 2 is assocated with the breaking distance of the doubled velocity. Since 2 is four times larger than 1/2, this leads us to the conclusion that the breaking distance for an object traveling at double a certain velocity would be 4x greater than the breaking distance of the object moving at the "regular" velocity.


If you live in a rainy climate and it was warm what would grow there?

If you lived in a rainy climate you would have to only eat meat


How would you know someone is backing up rather then braking?

If they were backing up, they would be going backwards... If they were braking, they wouldn't be going anywhere......


In an experiment what is the manipulated variable in determining whether the distance a skateboard rolls is affected by the skateboard's wheels?

because you are determining whether distance is affected by the wheels, wheels would thus be the manipulated variable. I recommend using different wheel sizes or eeven hardness, but your best bet would be to test size.


Would the measurement of gravity be affected by distance?

If one is hypothetically measuring gravity from a long distance, would there be a delay between the gravity encompassed by a source and the gravity detected from a distance, similarly to how there is a delay in the measurement of light from a distance?I know that gravity might be independent from time since it is influence by an object's existence. But then again, gravity is a part of space-time.


At 40 mph what is your vehicle and reaction distance?

At 40 mph, a vehicle travels approximately 58 feet per second. The average reaction time for a driver is about 1.5 seconds, which means the reaction distance would be around 87 feet (1.5 seconds x 58 feet/second). Additionally, the stopping distance will vary depending on road conditions and vehicle braking capabilities. Therefore, at 40 mph, the total stopping distance can be around 120-140 feet when factoring in both reaction and braking distances.
