At 55 mph, how long does it take for a tractor-trailer to come to a complete stop?

500+ feet
450+ feet
400+ feet
350+ feet

The correct answer is: 400+ feet

A tractor-trailer traveling at 55 mph takes approximately 400 feet to come to a complete stop. This is because at high speeds, it takes much longer for the vehicle to slow down and stop, especially due to their larger size and weight. Option A, 500+ feet, is too high of a distance as modern trucks have improved braking systems and can stop in a shorter distance. Option B, 450+ feet, is also too high. Option D, 350+ feet, is too low and would be the stopping distance for a smaller vehicle traveling at the same speed.
