Answer:

-This is the Distance that the Vehicle Takes, that has the Breaks APPLIED. It can be Affected by: -Speed - going Faster will mean it needs more Distance to Stop the Car -Mass - If its a Bus full of People and Bags, then it needs more Time to Stop. -Condition of the Breaks. If its not Worn Out, or Faulty, or even not Applied Correctly then their will be Little Force -Grip of the Tyres - It will probably Skid if the Road is Icy or Wet, or if the Tyres is Bald.
