Depends on the rate of acceleration
How Many Feet Does It Take To Accelerate To 40 Mph?
For a reasonable estimate, you can use the equation Da = 1.075*(S^2/a), where "Da" is acceleration distance, "S" is speed in mph, and "a" is acceleration.
Typical acceleration rates for a passenger car vary from about 4.6 to 7.5 and for a semi-trailer truck it varies from about 0.3 to 1.6.
