Answer:
If the initial speed is doubled the time is also doubled
Explanation:
You have that a car with velocity v is decelerated by a constant acceleration a in a time t.
You use the following equation to establish the previous situation:
[tex]v'=v-at[/tex] (1)
v': final speed of the car = 0m/s
v: initial speed of the car
From the equation (1) you solve for t and obtain:
[tex]t=\frac{v-v'}{a}=\frac{v}{a}[/tex] (2)
To find the new time that car takesto stop with the new initial velocity you use again the equation (1), as follow:
[tex]v'=v_1-at'[/tex] (3)
v' = 0m/s
v1: new initial speed = 2v
t': new time
You solve the equation (3) for t':
[tex]0=2v-at'\\\\t'=\frac{2v}{a}=2t[/tex]
If the initial speed is doubled the time is also doubled
