What is the braking distance of a car?
1 Answers
The braking distance of a car is approximately 36-40 meters. Braking distance: It consists of two parts: reaction distance and braking distance. The speed in braking distance refers to the speed at which the vehicle is traveling when braking. The braking distance is proportional to the square of the speed in braking distance. Factors affecting braking distance: The actual braking distance is proportional to the driving speed of the car. The faster you drive, the longer the braking distance will be. Moreover, the influence of reaction time on the actual braking distance is far less significant than the influence of speed on the distance. For example, when the driving speed is between 50-110Km/h, the difference in reaction distance is only 15 meters, while the actual braking distance differs by 69 meters.
