Answer for Total Stopping Distance If you look at total stopping distance then it will depend on the speed, reaction time, condition of stopping equipment and tire coefficient to surface being traveled on. This formula will get you close but there are variables that will effect the out come in real time. X= speed x(squared) /20 + x = total stopping distance.
Alternate Answer: Published data is 190 mph to 0 in 442 feet, so using Bringingthewood's formula for 60 mph, 60-0 is: 44 feet.

What happen to the braking distance if the speed is doubled and why?
Hi there! Assuming that the deceleration (or negative acceleration, if you will) is constant and the same in both cases, you can use a special kinematic formula to solve the problem. The formula follows: (final velocity)^2 = (initial velocity)^2 + [ 2 * (deceleration) * (braking distance) ] Rearranged to our needs the formula reads: braking distance = [1/2] * -(initial velocity)^2 / (deceleration) * this equation assumes that the final velocity is zero If the initial speed were doubled then the general formula would read: braking distance = 2 * -(initial velocity)^2 / (deceleration) NOTICE that the two equations are the exact same except for the leading coefficients. 1/2 is assocaited with the braking distance of the normal velocity while 2 is assocated with the breaking distance of the doubled velocity. Since 2 is four times larger than 1/2, this leads us to the conclusion that the breaking distance for an object traveling at double a certain velocity would be 4x greater than the breaking distance of the object moving at the "regular" velocity.
If traveling 60 mph how many feet would it take you to stop?
On dry pavement in the average car it will take 60 ft of thinking about it, & 180 ft of braking for a total of 240 ft. Double the braking distance on wet pavement for a total of 420 ft. On snow it is anyone's guess.
What is the relationship between skid length and the initial velocity of a car help answer this theorotically not in formula thnkx?
The skid length of a car is directly related to its initial velocity. A car traveling at a higher initial velocity will skid for a longer distance before coming to a stop compared to a car traveling at a lower initial velocity. This is because the higher initial velocity results in a greater kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated through braking, causing the car to skid for a longer distance.
What is the formula for distance as a function of acceleration and time?
Distance d=1/2 at2 is the formula.
What is the formula for distance traveled with constant acceleration?
If the car begins with zero speed, thenDistance = 1/2 (acceleration) x (time)2
Is computer programming useful in learning the distance formula in Algebra 1?
Computer programming is somewhat useful in learning the distance formula in Algebra 1. Learning the distance formula has more to do with your ability at mathmetics and you want to learn.

What is the stopping or braking distance of a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder 2wd 60-0?
If you can't stop within a safe distance you are going too fast. 1 car space for every 10 miles is the norm. Or you can re model your front end with a rear end colliision. Be safe!
