Answer:

a. 4d.

If the car travels at a velocity of 2v, the minimum stopping distance will be 4d.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of distance and velocity of the car are the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x =  position of the car at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

v = velocity of the car at time t.

Let´s find the time it takes the car to stop using the equation of velocity. When the car stops, its velocity is zero. Then:

velocity = v0 + a · t      v0 = v

0 = v + a · t

Solving for t:

-v/a = t

Since the acceleration is negative because the car is stopping:

v/a = t

Now replacing t = v/a in the equation of position:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²     (let´s consider x0 = 0)

x = v · (v/a) + 1/2 · (-a) (v/a)²    

x = v²/a - 1/2 · v²/a

x = 1/2 v²/a

At a velocity of v, the stopping distance is 1/2 v²/a = d

Now, let´s do the same calculations with an initial velocity v0 = 2v:

Using the equation of velocity:

velocity = v0 + a · t

0 = 2v - a · t

-2v/-a = t

t = 2v/a

Replacing in the equation of position:

x1 = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²  

x1 = 2v · (2v/a) + 1/2 · (-a) · (2v/a)²

x1 = 4v²/a - 2v²/a

x1 = 2v²/a

x1 = 4(1/2 v²/a)

x1 = 4x

x1 = 4d

If the car travels at a velocity 2v, the minimum stopping distance will be 4d.
