When a vehicle speed triples how much more distance does it need to stop?

That really depends on the car. Each car varies in how fast it can stop when going at triple speed digits. A lot of factors goes into it as in: How heavy is the car, how big are the brakes, tires, size of the wheels, aerodynamics, suspension, ABS (Does it have one?), etc.
Most hyper-sport cars such as the Lamborghini Aventador stops 0-62mph within 106 feet. That's pretty darn short. That's with carbon ceramic brakes and Brembo 6-pot front/4-pot rear ABS brake system on a 3600 lbs. car.
So I can imagine a regular car with a normal braking system will need 9 times more distance to stop while cruising at triple digits.

How does weight affect the speed of a viehicle?
A heavy vehicle can go just as fast as a light vehicle, it just takes longer and more HP to reach desired speed with a heavier vehicle.
What is a speed?
Basically "speed" tells you how fast something moves. It is defined as a distance divided by a time (more precisely, in the case of variable speed, the derivative of distance with respect to time).
What is the relationship between time and speed?
There is no relation between speed and time. if you add up the distance than the speed or time can be measured according to the distance measured. for example we say car A traveled 5 km in 20 minutes with a speed of 15 km/hour
Does driving 50 burn more gas than driving 60 miles an hour over the same distance?
No. Probably.There are speeds for each vehicle, depending on which gear is in use, which will consume more fuel at a slightly faster speed.
How much gas is emitted from vehicle?
Depends on your mileage and all that motor vehicle talk. If its a fast car then it will emit more gas then a regular standard car because of sheer speed. The more speed the more gas emits.
What are the benefits of having a digital dash in a vehicle?
Digital displays are easier to read and are more accurate. Digital dash boards are replacing traditional read outs for mileage, speed, distance traveled and temperature.
How does distance and time affect speed?
Speed affects distance and time. The faster you go, relative to a stationary object, the more your time slows down and distance shrinks according to the stationary observer. However, you would notice nothing unusual time would progress normally and your distance would be the same according to you. According to you, you would see the stationary observer grow in distance and see there time speed up.
How are height distance and speed related?
Now, this is in very....basic. It also may not be 100% correct. The higher up you are, the more distance you fall. The more distance you fall, the faster you go. You peak at a certain speed, and will continue falling at that speed once it is reached. The max speed differs in the amount of weight falling. (Proven by an Egg falling, or a Feather falling.)
How many hours will it take you to drive 500 miles on a highway?
The answer requires more information. The formula for this is called the "time, speed, distance" formula. You need 2 elements to calculate the answer. you have only given 1, the distance. to determine the time it will take to drive 500 miles, you need to know the speed of the vehicle. At 500 MPH it will take 1 hour.
How the speed of a vehicle is related to engine speed and how tha vehicle speed is affected by the engine torque and gear ratio?
A smaller number as a gear ratio means more speed. Higher ratios have higher torque and less speed. The size of the engine just determines hp and tq for that engine unless it is upgraded. The gear ratio and engine determine the vehicles top speed and acceleration. More torque means more power therefore more acceleration.
Where is the vehicle speed sensor?
There is more than one speed sensor on the vehicle. If you have anti-lock brakes there is one at each wheel hub. The one that runs the speedo is at the output shaft housing of the transmission on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
How does the weight of a car effect the stopping distance of a car?
The more the vehicle weighs, the harder the brakes must work to stop it and the more distance it will need to stop the vehicle. However, large trucks can brake easier with more weight because weight adds friction which helps to stop the vehicle. This still doesn't fully compensate for the total stopping distance needed for a large vehicle. Basicly what he means is the heavier the vehicle the more friction it can create(slow it down) but it can add to the forward force iswell Or more precisely, the force of the vehicle going forward because of it's mass is still greater than the force of friction helping the vehicle slow down.
