What is the shortest overall stopping distance on a dry road at 60 mph?
The answer cannot be calculated without further information. It would depend on your stopping power (brake system), the size/weight of the vehicle, etc.
What has a shorter stopping distance water snow or dry pavement?
Dry pavement of course.
What is the overall stopping distance for a car travelling at 30mph?
The answer will depend on the condition of the brakes and tyres. It will also depend on whether or not the road is dry and and on the amount of load being carried.
Stopping distance at 30 mph?
23 meters on a dry pavement.
Total stopping distance on the dry pavement at 40 mph is?
85 feet
What distance does it take to stop traveling at 50 mph?
The distance to stop depends upon a lot of factors, eg:type of road surfacecondition of tyresstate of road surface (icy, dusty, wet, dry, etc)effectiveness of brakesThe stopping distance given in the Highway Code is based on assumptions that have not changed even though brakes, etc have improved. They are calculated as distance to stop in ft = (speed in mph)² ÷ 20For 50 mph the physical stopping distance is 50² ÷ 20 = 125 ftThe Highway Code gives the emergency stopping distance as this distance plus the thinking distance which is given as 1 ft per mph which at 50 mph is 50 ftThese distances are converted to metres:Emergency stopping distance = thinking distance + physical stopping distance= 50 ft + 125 ft = 175 ft≈ 15 m + 38 m ≈ 53 mThis is the shortest distance based on good brakes, good tyres, dry road. For worn tyres, wet or icy roads, etc increase the distance by a factor of 2, 5, 10 etc.
What is the stopping distance you'd allow at 50 mph in dry conditions?
243 feet
Total stopping distance on dry pavement at the speed of 30 mph is about?
The total stopping distance for a car travelling at 30 mph on a dry surface is about 75 feet. However, you may wish to note that in most countries, driving a car on the pavement is illegal.
How long does it take to stop a car going 20 mph?
That depends upon the braking ability of the car, the condition of the tyres and road surface. Also the alertness of the driver will have some effect. If you are referring to the emergency stopping distance as suggested by the UK Government in The Highway Code publication (which has not been updated for modern cars) for a dry road and a car with good brakes and tyres, then the stopping distance is 20ft for the thinking distance plus an actual stopping distance of 20ft making a total of 40ft. The table of stopping distances is given by: d = speed + speed2 ÷ 20 where the distance d is in feet and speed is in mph. At 70mph this equates to 315 feet ~= 96m which is almost 100 metres - the distance between marker posts along the side of a motorway!
At 80 kmp What is the shortest total distance a car travels before stopping on dry road?
Approximately 50 metres. There are other variable to take into account. For instance; The type of surface The tyres The brakes The weight of the car and contents. All these will alter the distance significantly.
What should the total stopping distance on dry pavement be at 70 MPH?
You should not be travelling on a pavement at 70 mph!
When driving in snow or ice should you double or tripple your space cusion?
Your stopping distance on a snow covered road it 10 times great than on dry pavement. So, the answer to your question is to increase your space cushion by 10 times.
