Enter Speed in mph

Driving 74 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  =  742
  20

Braking Distance  =  5476
  20

Braking Distance = 273.8

Calculate Stopping Distance:

Stopping Distance = Speed Distance + Braking distance

Stopping Distance = 74 + 273.8

Stopping Distance = 347.8 feet

Final Anwer


Therefore, if you are driving 74 mph, it will take you approximately 347.8 feet to stop your car.
