If the aveage car could reach the speed of light. what would the stopping distance?
Answers:
Ahh a truly great question indeed!
it would be the distance of light!
I have seen this manoeuvre performed a few times in the PHANTOM ZONE!
THANKS for that question!
FORZA ITALIA.
What kind of tires?
3 and a half times the speed.
what about stopping at the strike of a match??
anti-lock brakes? you got to give us details.
Ooh, thats difficult! Were you one of those guys who really liked physics at school?
Hmmmm.my question is this. If you are travelling at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights.would anything happen?
good one apply the current high way code 3 and a half times
zero !
It depends if it is traveling at that speed at the time. ie concord traveld at that speed but didn't need 31/2 times that to stop.
And if your traveling at that speed how would you see if you had missed your stop?
2 YEARS THE BRAKES DONT WORK IN SPACE
If it's 3.5 times the speed, then it would be about 1,050,000 km (or nearly 1 million miles). The problem is that when you're driving in these backwater areas you always get stuck behind a tractor or combine harvester, so it's not a valid question.
7,238,771,492.849108 Feet
The formula is:
V + (v^2/20) (where v = velocity )
for total stopping distance, so knock yourself out.
Interstellar skidmarks eh? Shooting stars my azz!
If it were travelling at the speed of light you would not have to worry about stopping as the car would have shrunk out of existance as we know it! Any way have you ever tried to slow down light let alone bring it to a halt. As I am sure you know that would stop time. An of course the brakes would be shagged!
light travels at 670,680,000mph. the stopping distance would be 5,732,940,334,006,867 miles. granted you had optimal driving conditions i.e. smooth dry pavment. this is based on your average car, like a honda accord. goodluck with your travels.
186 miles per second. plug it in and figur it aout
In the dry or wet conditions??
