What happens to the stopping distance when the vehicle speed increases?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
What happens to the stopping distance when a vehicle increases it's speed?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
Does traveling at a high speed require greater stopping distance?
Yes
How does speed affect stopping?
The faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is. The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is. E.G. Speed of a car Thinking distace Breaking distance Total stopping distance mph meters meters meters 30 9 14 23 40 12 24 36 50 15 38 53 70 21 75 96
Does THE ability to judge speed and distance of oncoming vehicles change as we get older?
Not exactly - Your perception of, and ability to judge, speed increases when you become more experienced, if you've been driving for 30 years, you'll be able to gauge speed/distance better than someone who's been driving for 3 years.
As a vehicles speed increases what happens to stopping distance?
It increases faster than the speed increase ... approximately the square of the speed. So twice the speed results in 4 times the stopping distance.
What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?
Stopping distance also increases.
What happens to the stopping distance when the vehicle speed increases?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
What happens to the stopping distance when a vehicle increases it's speed?
The distance needed to stop also increases.
Does reducing speed increases a drivers stopping distance?
No it decreases it.
What happens to a graph of time and distance as speed increases?
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
What is the Stopping distance at 20 mph?
using the formula, speed squared divided by 20 plus speed gives 40 feet approximate stopping distance at 20mph.
When driving on rural roadways at higher speed you need a longer stopping distance?
Stopping distance is always relative to driving speed. The faster you go, the longer it takes you to stop. And if the road surface is wet or icy it will take even longer to stop. That means you also have to give yourself more space behind other vehicles.
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'.
Does traveling at a high speed require greater stopping distance?

Distance equals velocity time the equation sHow is that distance varies as time?
Distance is dependent on time. If there is no time, there is no distance, as distance = velocity * time. As time or speed increases so will distance, therefore, if distance increases, either speed or time must increase. If either speed or time = 0, then distance will equal 0.
