How does stopping distance change if the initial velocity doubles, with the same deceleration?
AIt becomes half
BIt remains unchanged
CIt becomes four times
DIt becomes double
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It becomes four times
Stopping distance goes as the square of initial velocity, so doubling it multiplies distance by four.
