Practice question

How does doubling the speed of a commercial passenger bus affect its kinetic energy and theoretical braking distance?

  1. Kinetic energy and braking distance increase fourfold (2² = 4 times)
  2. Kinetic energy doubles while braking distance remains unchanged
  3. Kinetic energy remains constant because vehicle mass is unchanged
  4. Braking distance increases by exactly 50%

Answer: A — Kinetic energy and braking distance increase fourfold (2² = 4 times)
