Problem 11CQ
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,
