Practice question
How does increasing travel speed from 50 km/h to 100 km/h affect the kinetic energy and physical braking distance of a vehicle?
- Kinetic energy and braking distance increase by four times (quadruple), because energy scales with the square of speed
- Kinetic energy and braking distance merely double
- Kinetic energy remains constant while braking distance increases by 10 metres
- Braking distance decreases because aerodynamic drag assists deceleration
Answer: A — Kinetic energy and braking distance increase by four times (quadruple), because energy scales with the square of speed
