Assume that the brakes in your car create a constant deceleration, regardless of how fast you arc going. If you double your driving speed, how does this affect (a) the time required to come to a stop, and (b) the distance needed to stop?

ANSWER:

a.)

Step 1 of 4

We have to find the effect of doubling the car speed on the time required for the car to come to a stop.

Let the initial speed of the car be and time be  which can be found using equation of motion  

where,

final velocity = 0 m/s

= initial speed = m/s

constant deceleration = m/s2

Thus,
