Right out of the gate, a heavier vehicle takes more time than a light one .That's why a train can take a mile to stop.
Then the entire brake system & the difference in each component factors in.
Also, comparing a vehicle with 4 wheel independent suspension 4 wheel disk & ABS to a vehicle with only front disk , rear drum on a solid rear end.
The 4 Wheel system is the winner hands down.
What type of tires & the pressure? Hard rubber doesn't grab like soft rubber.
The road surface & its temperature has a big effect to
Shall I go on?
Depends on the road surface, the weather conditions, the size/width/quality of the tyres, the brake system in the vehicle and the vehicle
WEIGHT. Consider it takes several miles for a supertanker to come to a stop in the water when it is fully loaded. So lets crank it up to 70 out of Alaska. and hit the reverse propellers at Washington state....yeah I figure it will stop by the time it reaches Mexico.
Pretty damn good, if it has good brakes with ABS and good tyres, good stiff suspension and fresh tyres. If ANY of the above are worn or near the end of their life, then they won't work as well as they could.
Also, a good high-compression engine will work as a transmission-brake. For instance, in a Formula 1 car, there is NO flywheel-effect, and simply coming off the gas pedal causes the car to slow down at least as violently as a good set of brakes on a road-car does!
Modern cars decelerate at about 1G, or about 20 mph / second. It would come to a stop in about 3 1/2 seconds.
On what year, make and model of car. What specific tires are on the car What is the tire pressure and what's the ambient temperature. Does the car have ABS?
Are we to assume you're slamming on the brakes on black-top?
Depends on the road surface, the weather conditions, the size/width/quality of the tyres, the brake system in the vehicle and the vehicle itself.
