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'.

If you go twice as fast will your stopping distance increase by twice or four times?
4
As a vehicles speed increases it's stopping distance?
With increased speed, stopping distance 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.
A car travels twice as fast as a second car. The faster car will take how much more distance to stop?
The stopping distance is not straightforward and depends on two factors: The time for a driver to react to a situation called the "thinking distance". The distance travelled in between the driver realising he needs to brake and actually braking and during which the car carries on moving. The distance taken to stop once the brakes are applied called the "braking distance". Both these factors combine to make the total stopping distance, which is not a linear scale. Thus going twice as fast does not simply double the distance. Thus without knowing what the speed of the slowest car is we can not tell you "how much more distance to stop" at 20 mph the distance is 40 feet (under ideal conditions). at 30, 75 feet at 40, 118 feet at 50, 175 feet at 60, 240 feet at 70, 315 feet
How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?
The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.
What would happen to the freezing point of the substance that you worked with if there was twice as much liquid in the test tube?
Nothing. The freezing point depends on the molecular structure, not the volume of the substance. It will take a longer time to freeze twice the amount of liquid, but the freezing point remains the same.
How many miles is anchorage to China?
The distance between the above places is 4525 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport precise distance.
What is the distance that is twice or two times the radius?
The diameter of a circle is twice its radius
On your 2005 Mustang your e-brake has frozen twice when the temp drops below freezing any reason for this or history?
Water has found its way to the inside of the brake cable, you may have to let the engine warm up for some time so that the exhaust will defrost it, as for history of this none for that car as far as I know but plenty of history with things freezing up in minus conditions.
A person weighing 800 newtons on earth travels to another planet with twice the mass and twice the radius of earth the person's weight on this other planet is most nearly?
The force of gravity is proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the SQUARE of the distance between them. If we double the mass at the same distance, we double the force; if we double the distance, the force is cut to one-FOURTH. So twice the mass and twice the distance; the force will be (800*2)/2^2, or 400.
Lawnmower won't start when hot after stopping?
I've had this problem twice on two different motors both time it was the spark plug.
What is the straight line distance between two points?
Twice the distance between a point and halfway to the other point.
