StoppingDistance=ThinkingDistance+BrakingDistanceStopping Distance = Thinking Distance + Braking DistanceStoppingDistance=ThinkingDistance+BrakingDistance
Distance travelled during driver's reaction time
Distance travelled while brakes applied until car stops
Faster speed means more space needed to stop safely
Decrease friction, cause skidding, increase braking distance
Lower friction, more skidding, increase braking distance
Reduce friction & braking force, increase braking distance
14m
Approximately 1 second
Directly proportional to speed
Squared relationship with speed
Braking distance quadruples
Kinetic energy to thermal energy in brakes
d=v×td = v \times td=v×t
~1000 kg
