How it works
Calculate total stopping distance including reaction time and braking phase.
Who it's for: Drivers and safety instructors illustrating speed vs. stopping distance.
Total = reaction distance + braking distance.
Braking uses v²/(2μg) with friction coefficient μ.
Speed entered in mph; results in meters.
How to use
- Enter Speed (mph), Reaction time (s), and Friction μ.
- Read Total distance, Reaction segment, and Braking segment.
