There are many things that affect the braking distance. They are:
a. Weight of the Car
b. Efficiency of the Brakes
c. Brake heat level
d. Tyre heat level
e. Tyre Pressure and
f. Road conditions (Rain/Dry/Intermediate)
i dont know maybe you guys do.
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
This statement is not accurate. In reality, when speed is doubled, the braking distance is quadrupled, not doubled, assuming all other factors remain constant. This is because the braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the initial speed.
A wider tire may decrease braking distance, but it depends on many factors.
Several factors can affect the thinking distance of a vehicle during emergency braking, including the driver's reaction time, speed of the vehicle, road conditions, visibility, and distractions.
Hand-eye coordination, thinking distance, drunkenness, tiredness, if your on drugs, if your listening to music/being distracted. Thats just about it Also speed and road conditions affect braking distance
At 55 mph, the approximate braking distance is around stopping distance of about 200 feet. This includes both the reaction distance (the distance traveled while you react to the need to stop) and the actual braking distance (the distance it takes to stop once the brakes are applied). Factors like road conditions, vehicle type, and driver reaction time can affect this distance.
The equation that links stopping distance, thinking distance, and braking distance is given by: Stopping Distance = Thinking Distance + Braking Distance. Thinking distance is the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a hazard, while braking distance is the distance traveled while the vehicle comes to a complete stop after the brakes are applied. Together, they represent the total distance required to stop a vehicle safely.
Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop.
When the speed of a vehicle doubles, the braking distance is increased by approximately four times. This is because the braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
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.
The total distance it takes to stop a vehicle traveling at 60 mph depends on several factors, including reaction time and road conditions. On average, a vehicle's stopping distance can be estimated by the formula: stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance. For a vehicle going 60 mph, the total stopping distance is typically around 180 to 240 feet, which includes approximately 66 feet for reaction time and 114 to 174 feet for braking distance, depending on the braking efficiency and conditions.
