Driving 50 miles per hour (mph), how many feet will it take to stop your vehicle

<-- Enter Speed in mph
Driving 75 miles per hour (mph), calculate how many feet it will take you to stop your vehicle.

Stopping Distance = Reaction Distance + Braking Distance

Calculate Braking Distance:

Braking Distance  =  Speed2
  20

Braking Distance  =  752
  20

Braking Distance  =  5625
  20

Braking Distance = 281.25

Reaction Distance = Speed, Calculate Stopping Distance:

Stopping Distance = 75 + 281.25
Stopping Distance = 356.25 feet

Therefore, if you are driving 75 mph, it will take you approximately 356.25 feet to stop your car.
