stopping distance
Stopping distance is how far a car goes after the brakes are pressed until it stops completely. It can change based on how fast you're going and what kind of tires you have.
Stopping distance refers to the total distance a vehicle travels from the moment the driver applies the brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It is influenced by various factors including speed, road conditions, and tire type.
