Question

which conditions produce the longest stopping distance

Answer 1

conditions are as follows :

1. contact of the object in motion to the surface of earth. the less the friction , there is more the stopping distance of the object.

2. appliying the unbalanced force on it while stopping. if the unbalanced force is less than the object's velocity , there is more stopping distance.

3. gravity of the earth.

4. slow decrease of acceleration.

i hope this answer is satisfactory.

thank you.

Answer 2

The last factor than determines the total stopping distance is the cars braking capability which depends on factors such as;

the type of braking system,

brake pad material,

brake alignment,

tyre pressures,

tyre tread and grip,

vehicle weight,

suspension system,

the co-efficient of friction of the road surface,
