Explanation
When a vehicle is traveling at higher speeds, it requires more time and distance to come to a complete stop. This is because the vehicle has more momentum and kinetic energy, which needs to be dissipated through braking. Factors such as motorist reaction time, weather conditions, vehicle weight, brake conditions, tire conditions, roadway conditions, and speed all contribute to the overall stopping distance.
