Assume that the brakes in your car result in a constant deceleration of magnitude a, which is independent of how fast you are driving. The stopping distance is the distance that your car continues to move forward after you have pressed the brakes. Suppose that when driving 30 mph, your car's stopping distance is d. What is your car's stopping distance when driving 60 mph?
