Answer:
breaking distance will increase by a factor 3.0625
Explanation:
From Newton's equation of motion, we can say that;
v² = u² + 2as
Where initial velocity is zero, we have;
v² = 2as
s = v²/2a
Where s is the distance and v is the final speed.
We will assume the deceleration(negative acceleration) is the same value,
Now, we see that the distance is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
Now, 75% increase in speed means it has increased by a factor of 1.75
Thus means;
1.75²v² is directly proportional to the 1.75²d
Distance =
1.75²v² = 3.0625d
Thus, breaking distance will increase by a factor 3.0625
