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 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.
The distance your vehicle travels while stopping depends on various factors such as your speed, road conditions, and reaction time. On average, a car traveling at 60 mph can take anywhere from 100-130 feet to come to a complete stop.
Total stopping distance includes both reaction distance (the distance traveled while perceiving a hazard and reacting to it) and braking distance (the distance traveled once braking has been initiated). It is the sum of these two distances and is the distance required for a vehicle to come to a complete stop.
Perception Distance + Reaction Distance+ Braking Distance.
Perception Distance, Reaction Distance and Braking Distance
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.
It is the total stopping time.
85 feet
Yes, friction affects stopping distance. The greater the friction the lower the stopping distance; the lower the friction the greater the stopping distance.
Total Stopping Distance
The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96
Stopping distance at 30mph = 23m
