A car traveling at speed v takes distance d to stop after the brakes are applied. What is the stopping distance if the car is initially traveling at speed 2.0v? Assume that the acceleration due to the braking is the same in both cases.

The stopping distance of a vehicle is an important safety factor.Assuming a constant braking force, use the work-energy theorem toshow that a vehicle's stopping distance is proportional to thesquare of its initial speed. If an automobile traveling at 45 km/his brought to a stop in 50 m, what would be the stopping distancefor an initial speed of 90 km/h?

Answer: 200 m

A car of mass 2.0 103 kg is traveling east at a speed of 24 m/s along a horizontal roadway. When its brakes are applied, the car stops in 6.1 s. What is the average horizontal force exerted on the car while it is braking?

. Consider two cars, a 700kg Porsche and a 600kg Honda Civic. ThePorsche is speeding along at 40 m/s (mph) and the Civic is goinghalf the speed at 20 m/s. If the two cars brake to a stop with thesame constant acceleration, lets look at whether the amount of timerequired to come to a stop or the distance traveled prior tostopping is influenced by their initial velocity.

1. A car traveling 5m/s slams on its brakes, creating anacceleration of -2 m/s2. How far did the car travel after itapplied its brakes? __________

2. The same car traveling for 10m/s applies the same accelerationof -2 m/s2. How far did the car travel after it applied its brakes?__________


I am obviously using the formula wrong.. wouldn't it be d=at^2
