What does wet road conditions affect on a car?
Stopping distance
What happens to the stopping distance as a car moves faster?
The stopping distance of a car increases.
What is the overall stopping distance of a car travelling at 100km an hour?
you're a tool. dependant upon inertia, stopping surface, braking potential, weight. lots of factors. a car may have ABS or not. this affects the final distance
What is typical car stopping distances in icy conditions?
There is too many factors to narrow the stopping distance down to a specific stopping distance. One of these factors is speed many people often are going to fast in icy condition causing horrible car pile-ups and many crashes. People need to be more cautious in icy conditions.
What happens to the stopping distance when the car speed increases?
Stopping distance also increases.
What is the element of stopping distance?
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
What is the relationship between a car's mass and its stopping distance?
The greater the mass of the car and its occupants the longer the stopping distance that is required for the vehicle. Stopping distance is calculated by taking into account car mass and reaction time in braking
What factors determine the stopping distance?
Speed, reaction time, car's mass, tires, mechanical condition & type of brakes.
What is the element of total stopping distance?
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
What is the stopping distance for a car travelling at 80 mph?
yes its 622 feet, but the state of the driver does not affect the stopping distance of a car. this is only affected by the mass of the car and the state the brake pads are in. so you can be drunk or sobre but the stopping distance will always be the same, its the thinking distance that is affected by the state of mind the driver is in. The stopping distance of a car most certainly IS affected by the state of the driver in question, due to braking systems not being specifically on or off, rather being sensitive to the pressure applied to them. If the driver in question brakes too hard, or too softly, then the stopping distance will change, obviously.
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
How does friction on tires effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more friction, the quicker the vehicle will stop, meaning less stopping distance.
