Carol asks…kinetic energy...................?If the speed of the car is increased by 50%, by what factor will its minimum breaking distance
be increased, assuming all else is the same? Ignore the drivers reaction timeNancy answers:Final velocity = 0
Hence using the eqution of motion v^2 = u^2 + 2as
u1^2 = -2aS1
u2^2 = -2aS2
S2/S1 = ^2
It is given that u2/u1 = 1.5.
S2/S1 = ^2 = 1.5^2 = 2.25
