On what factors does the stopping distance depend?
(N/A) The stopping distance of a vehicle is the distance it travels before coming to a complete rest after the brakes are applied. It depends on the following factors:
$1$. Initial velocity $(v_0)$ of the vehicle: The stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of the initial velocity $(d \propto v_0^2)$.
$2$. Deceleration capacity: It depends on the braking efficiency or the maximum deceleration $(a)$ that the vehicle can achieve,which is determined by the friction between the tires and the road surface.
