Speeding is a factor in all fatal accidents for multiple reasons. The main being the greater the speed, the greater force involved. More force increases the chance of great bodily harm or death in a collision. A second factor that speed changes is breaking distance. The faster a vehicle is moving, the longer it takes to stop. A vehicle traveling 30 MPH has an approximate stopping distance of 109 feet, 60 MPH 304 FT, and 90 MPH 584 FT.
. . 'in a second' . . that bit makes the question impossible to answer. The distance changes with time but the orbit is stable.
The stopping distance for a 3000kg car if 3000 N of force is applied when the car is traveling 10 ms is 50 meter. This is based on Newton's second law of force.
5o miles per hour is 73.3 feet per second. The average stopping distance for the breaks at that speed is 128 feet. Now add to that the average reaction time for a driver at that speed which is 3/4 second so we add 55 feet gives us a total of 183 feet.

Factor #1: The mass of the first body involved. Factor #2: The mass of the second body involved. Factor #3: The distance between the centers of mass of the two bodies involved.
Stopping distances are measured in feet not in seconds. At 40 mph you're traveling 58.7 feet per second. The average driver reaction time is about 3/4 second which equates to 44 feet. After applying the brakes it will take approximately 82 feet to stop the vehicle. The total stopping distance for a car traveling 40 mph will be 126 feet when you include reaction time and actual stopping distance of the vehicle. If you divide 126' x 58.7' which is the distance traveled per second you get 2.14 seconds. This is assuming you're paying attention and have average reaction time while driving.
Factor #1: The mass of the first body involved. Factor #2: The mass of the second body involved. Factor #3: The distance between the centers of mass of the two bodies involved.
0.5*0.24*72 = 5.88 units of distance per second.
One thing that a conversion factor does is changes the numerical amount (value) of the measurement. The second thing a conversion factor does is changes the way measurement is expressed (units).
Shane Ward won the second series of X Factor.
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself. The second greatest factor of any even number is half the number. The second greatest factor of any composite number is the number divided by its smallest prime factor. The second greatest factor of any prime number is 1.
