Some thing is definitely worn or loose, get it checked out immediately. There are a number of possible causes, ranging from a loose brake calliper or pads, to worn suspension joints.

The distance it takes to stop once the brakes are applied?

It depends on how fast you are traveling, how well your brakes work and how much braking force is applied. If you are going 1 mph and slammed down on the brake you would stop instantly. If you are going 100 mph and lightly touched the brake who knows when you would stop.

On a 2000 Chevy Malibu LS why is there a knocking noise when you press press fimly on your brakes and sometimes when you make a left turn?

If your feeling that knocking noise in your foot that's most likely going to be your ABS (anti-lock braking system) kicking in. It usually happens alot in the winter to us in the North East, so pretty normal as for the turn..... i would look into an axle being bad do to the skipping of the teeth that it rides in

What causes a knocking noise in your front wheel when coasting or decelerating?

My MX6 was just doing this on the way home. If I stepped on the gas, braked, or turned it would stop. The frequency of the knocking noise would increase with the speed, but seemed louder the slower I was going. The brakes were just done last week. Anyway, in my case the wheel lug nuts were loose, I could just unscrew them by hand! I will be calling the garage tomorrow to let them know.
