Driving 50 miles per hour (mph),

Calculate how many feet it will take you to stop your vehicle.

Calculate Braking Distance:

Braking Distance  =  Speed2
  20

Braking Distance  =  502
  20

Braking Distance  =  2500
  20

Braking Distance = 125

Calculate Stopping Distance:

Stopping Distance = Speed Distance + Braking distance

Stopping Distance = 50 + 125

Stopping Distance = 175 feet

Final Anwer


Therefore, if you are driving 50 mph, it will take you approximately 175 feet to stop your car.
