Yes, it will take the person 1.5 hours to travel to a place that is 60 miles away at a speed of 40 mph. This is calculated by dividing the distance (60 miles) by the speed (40 mph), which gives the time it takes to cover that distance.
The kinetic energy of the vehicle when it is travelling faster is four times as great. It the brakes apply the same retardation and the friction from the tires on the road surface is unchanged then the stopping time will be four times as long.
408 knots = 469.52 mph
At 38 mph you are traveling at 55.73 feet per second.

You might be in good condition but what about the road condition (wet, icy), the state of you tyres (good tread or worn), the state of your brakes?
140 mph
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.
The vehicle's reaction distance depends on the driver's reaction time.
On Ford vehicles the airbags typically deploy at 25 to 30 MPH, so in a head on collision, if both vehicles are traveling at a slow 15 MPH your airbags will go off
