    When you double the speed of a car, it takes times more distance to stop it.
    Question

    When you double the speed of a car, it takes times more distance to stop it.

    A.

    three

    B.

    one

    C.

    two

    D.

    four

    Correct option is D


    From Newton's third equation of motion v² = u² - 2as------(When a is negative)
    When car is stop then v = 0
    Stopping Distance:
    The stopping distance of a car is directly proportional to the square of its speed:
    d ∝ v2
    This relationship comes from the work-energy principle, where the kinetic energy of the car (KE = ½.mv2) must be dissipated by the braking force.
    Doubling the Speed:
    If the speed v is doubled, the stopping distance becomes:
    d′=k(2v)2 = 4kv2 = 4d.
