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.

What is the stopping distance for an average mid-size car going 55mph?
275 feet
How long does it take to drive 960 miles at a rate of speed of 55MPH?
Think of the word DISTance and you have the formula D Is S times T Distance equals Speed x Time from which you can infer that Speed equals Distance divided by Time and Time equals Distance divide by Speed So in this example How long? means find the Time, and Time = Distance/Speed which equals 960miles divided by 55mph = 17hours 27minutes 16.36363636.....seconds What about stopping for coffee or a rest?
Does friction affect stopping distance?
Yes, friction affects stopping distance. The greater the friction the lower the stopping distance; the lower the friction the greater the stopping distance.
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 is the Stopping distance at 30 mph?
Stopping distance at 30mph = 23m
What is the stopping distance at 10 mph?
Stopping Distance = 15 feet
Perception distance plus reaction distance plus braking distance is called?
Stopping Sight Distance
What is stopping distance for 45 mph?
Stopping Distance = about 146.25 feet.
What happens to the stopping distance as a car moves faster?
The stopping distance of a car increases.
Which vehicle requires a longer stopping distance?
Trains require a long stopping distance.
What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?
Stopping distance also increases.
How the steepness of a slope affects stopping distance?
The steeper the slope, the longer the stopping distance is.
