Which vehicle requires a longer stopping distance?
Trains require a long stopping distance.
What equals Stopping Distance?
Stopping distance for a motor vehicle is a combination of two factors.First the reaction time of the driver.Then the braking distance of the vehicle once the driver has reacted and applied the brakes.The two equal the stopping distance.
Where can friction be useful when it is high?
stopping an oncoming vehicle.
What is the distance your vehicle travels while stopping?
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.
What does stopping distances mean?
stopping distance is the distance it takes for a vehicle to come to a full stop from the moment you apply the brakes
Which is faster to stop an empty truck or loaded truck?
Depends on the vehicle and braking system. In a commercial vehicle, the brakes are designed specifically for stopping a loaded vehicle, and an unloaded truck can actually require more stopping distance than a loaded truck.
What is the purpose of the braking system?
It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle.
What is the purpose of the brakeing system?
It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle.
How does friction on tires effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
Is it twice the stopping distance for a car in freezing conditions?
No - the stopping distance depends on the speed of the vehicle - it' not simply a case of 'doubling-up'.
What is the stopping distance at 55mph?
That depends on what vehicle you are stopping from 55 mph. the laws of physics come into play. The heavier the vehicle the longer the stopping distance. So I cannot give an accurate answer except to say that from 60 mph the average for a mid-sized car is around 135 feet.
Can the repo guy harrass you into stopping when you are driving the vehicle?
As a general rule of thumb, no.
