Why does an automatic with ABS take longer to stop when braking?

The wheels do not lock up with abs. This gives you more control to steer the vehicle out of danger but it takes longer to stop.

Does speeding have an effect on braking distance?
Yes, the faster you are moving the longer it will take to stop.
Does a bobtail truck take longer to stop than an empty truck?
It can, yes. If you adjust your method of braking properly to account for the absence of weight, it shouldn't. If you simply slam on your brakes, it often will.
How long does it take a car to stop?
Depends on the make and model of car plus what speed you are braking at.
How much longer does it take to stop in the rain?
It can take up to three times longer to stop a vehicle in wet conditions.
Do Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars?
Trucks take longer to stop than passenger cars.
How long will it take to stop a vehicle?
There are many factors involved and therefore no single answer. Some factors are reaction time, vehicle speed, vehicle weight, braking type, braking efficiency and vehicle type.

Will a vehicle with worn brakes take longer to stop?
yes
When driving fifty miles per hours how far will it take you to stop?
On dry, level pavement, with decent tires? About 120 feet. Many things affect this calculation. With worn tires the distance can increase to 210 feet. Dirt roads require longer braking distances than pavement. Ice can increase the braking distance by hundreds of feet. Braking down a hill, depending upon the slope, can double the braking distance, whereas braking up hill can halve that distance. If you lock the tires, you typically increase the braking distance. You can reduce the distance by pumping the brakes. Anti-lock brakes allow the tires to slip, which decreases the braking distance. Extra weight in the vehicle increases the braking distance. Refer to the link below for calculating the braking distance at different speeds with different tire wear on dry, level pavement.
If traveling 60 mph how many feet would it take you to stop?
On dry pavement in the average car it will take 60 ft of thinking about it, & 180 ft of braking for a total of 240 ft. Double the braking distance on wet pavement for a total of 420 ft. On snow it is anyone's guess.
How long does it take a car to stop at 30mph?
A vehicle with brakes and tires in good working condition traveling at 90 kmh [60 mph] covers 27 metres [88 feet] per second. Stopping a vehicle traveling at this speed involves recognizing the need to stop, initiating braking and then braking to a stop At 90 kmh, once braking starts, it takes 42 metres to come to a complete stop. This encompasses approximately 3.1 seconds. So from perceiving a braking situation to stopping, takes 4.6 seconds during which time the car travels over 82 metres, which is almost the length of a football field. These computations are based on dry pavement, using an average braking rate of .870 g A vehicle with brakes and tires in good working condition traveling at 90 kmh [60 mph] covers 27 metres [88 feet] per second.
