Question 21
H

A car brakes to rest from a speed of 12 m/s. The same car later brakes to rest from a speed of 24 m/s using the same braking force.

How does the braking distance from 24 m/s compare with the braking distance from 12 m/s?

[1]
A

It is the same, because the braking force on the car has not changed.

B

It is twice as great, because the starting speed of the car is doubled.

C

It is three times as great, because some of the extra energy is shared.

D

It is four times as great, because the kinetic energy is four times greater.
