Question

what is stopping distance​

Answer 1

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. It is primarily affected by the original speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface,[Note 1] and negligibly by the tires' rolling resistance and vehicle's air drag. The type of brake system in use only affects trucks and large mass vehicles, which cannot supply enough force to match the static frictional force. Plz mark me brainliest

Answer 2

For your conceptual clarity :-

When the body is moving with a certain velocity and suddenly one applies brakes. You will observe that the body stops entirely after covering a certain distance. This is stopping distance.

Proper Defination :-

The stopping distance is the distance covered between the time when the body decides to stop a moving vehicle and the time when the vehicle stops entirely.

Also called braking distance.

Formula :-

d = v²/2μg

where, d = distance, v = velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity and μ = friction coefficient.

Another formula is -

d = kv²

where, d is distance, k is a constant of proportionality and v is speed.
