Is based on vehicle weight and road conditions.
you also have to figure in the reaction time of the driver, condition of the brakes, tires, and vehicle overall. however you can figure that at 60 mph a vehicle will travel one mile per minute
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.
This distance your vehicle travels while stopping is?total stopping distance
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.

Total Stopping Distance
Depends on where you start in Maine and where you are going in Georgia. Also depends on the mpg the vehicle you are driving gets and the price of fuel along the way. You can easily figure this. Find the distance from your starting point to your ending point. Easy to do by going to Mapquest. You should know what mpg the vehicle you are driving gets. Divide the mpg of your vehicle into the total distance you will travel and then multiply that times the price of fuel per gallon. You will then have your answer.
The current speed, and the total distance travelled respectively.
Depends on where you are starting in Ky and where you are going in S.C. Also depends on what vehicle you are driving. To find out, go to www.mapquest.com and find the total distance you are going to drive. Take the total miles and divide by the MPG your vehicle gets. That will tell you how many gallons you will need. Multipy that by the average cost of fuel which is around $1.90 at this time.
That's the definition of the object's average speedduring that period of time.Note: Not velocity. That's something different.
Speed Average speed- the total distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance Velocity is also the distance or displacement divided by the time
The more the vehicle weighs, the harder the brakes must work to stop it and the more distance it will need to stop the vehicle. However, large trucks can brake easier with more weight because weight adds friction which helps to stop the vehicle. This still doesn't fully compensate for the total stopping distance needed for a large vehicle. Basicly what he means is the heavier the vehicle the more friction it can create(slow it down) but it can add to the forward force iswell Or more precisely, the force of the vehicle going forward because of it's mass is still greater than the force of friction helping the vehicle slow down.
When traveling 30-mph, the braking distance is 45-feet, and the total stopping distance is 75-feet. This is the length of a semi-truck and trailer.
