Surfing For Reaction Distance Time?

Chris asks…Help calculating distance and time.?A car traveling 50 km/h can be brought to a stop in a particular distance under controlled braking conditions. For this problem, ignore the reaction time of the driver and find the stopping distance and stopping time after the brakes are applied.

(a) Assuming the force used to bring the car to rest is the same, how much distance is required to bring the car to a stop if the car is traveling 100 km/h, twice as fast as it was originally? The
