What distance does the bus take to stop at speed 80km or higher?

It depend on many factors
. Bus weight
. Brake system
. Tires and rims dimensions
. floor or road types
. driver way of brake
so these factors must be calculated to have real answer
but if you need an average answer it will be 200 meters

How long does it take to stop at 50 mph?
50mph is equivalent to 80km/h use the formula s=d÷t (s=speed d=distance t=time) to find distance u must know this formula breaking distance = b=0.7s+80x80/ 254f {80x80 = 80 squared }
If you double your speed youwillneed fourtimes the distance to stop?
No.
What is the connection between thinking distance and speed?
The longer the thinking distance, the more time it takes to react, to break. The shorter the thinking distance the, the less time taken to stop therefore leaving a shorter breaking distance!
When driving on rural roadways at higher speed you need a longer stopping distance?
Stopping distance is always relative to driving speed. The faster you go, the longer it takes you to stop. And if the road surface is wet or icy it will take even longer to stop. That means you also have to give yourself more space behind other vehicles.
What happens to the stopping distance when the vehicle speed increases?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
How many times more distance does it take to stop when speed is doubled?
Assuming a constant, linear deceleration, it takes four times the distance to stop when you double your speed. Using the formula v2 = u2 + 2as where v is final speed u is initial speed a is acceleration s is distance We can rearrange the formula to solve for s giving: s = (v2 - u2)/2a If we are finding the distance to that it takes to stop, the final velocity will be 0. Therefore distance to stop is given by s = -u2/2a Now we will look at the distance it takes to stop when speed is doubled. This will make our initial speed 2u. s = -(2u)2/2a = -2u2/a Comparing the two, we can see that when initial speed is doubled, it takes four times the distance to stop. (While it may look strange in the formula to have a negative sign in a distance measurement, remember that the car is decelerating, giving a negative acceleration. This means that the overall expression for distance will be positive.)
How would you measure the speed of an animal?
Stop watch and a known distance.
What happens to the stopping distance when a vehicle increases it's speed?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
How do you calculate average speed in case of stop overs?
ave speed does not care if you have stopovers or not. ave speed = total distance / total time
An automobile traveling at a velocity of 16 meters per second is brought to a full stop in 8 seconds The distance traveled in the 8 seconds is?
Speed= Distance / time => Distance = Speed x Time =16x8 = 128m
What is the relationship between speed and distance?
I am trying for a new explantion for time...>>>>>>>> time is a known but physically unexisting entity for the things who realize themselves through a certain imagination which has the entity speed in thoughts. Time is all about how slow or faster, we realizing things that actually happens.That does mean if we dont realize anything there is no time realized by us..there hides the secret of time.....!but still there might be time for others who are realizing TIME IS THE IMAGINING ENTITY OF THE REALITY SPEED IS THE REALIZING ENTITY OF IMAGINATION
How is auto speed calculated by police officer using stop watch?
Speed = Distance divided by the time taken to cover that distance.The stopwatch gives the time taken by the vehicle to cover the known distance. Hence he can calculate the speed.
