The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.
- Let the mass of the vehicle = m
- Let the initial speed of the vehicle stopped = u
- The initial speed of the vehicle parked at the red light = 0
- The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;
Thus, the initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

The drag force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of motion of the object. So as the speed is doubled, the magnitude of drag force will get quadrupled.
<u>Explanation: </u>
Drag force is the opposing or resisting force acting on any object by the medium in which it is moving. So in this case, you are riding a bicycle, thus the medium can be considered as air.
The formula for calculating drag force is as below:
Here, ρ is the density of the air molecules, v is the velocity or speed of the bicycle, CD is the drag coefficient and A is the area of the bicycle.
In the above equation, only the term velocity will be a varying quantity with respect to time and other quantities will remain constant throughout the single situation of riding of bicycle.
So, the equation can be,
Where ,
(constant for this whole condition)
Now given the speed of bicycle increased from v to 2v, so the initial drag force will be
After increase in speed, the final drag force will be
Thus, if the speed of the bicycle is doubled, the drag force will get increased by four times.
