The question seems to be expecting a comparative answer.

Let us consider Scenario 1 first.

We have the variables listed as follows:

Initial Velocity  V_{i} = v m/s

Final Velocity  V_{f} = 0, since the car is stopping.

Acceleration  = - a  m/s^{2} , since the car is slowing down.

Let the stopping distance in this case be S

We can arrive at the expression for S by using the equation V_{f}^{2} } = V_{i}^{2} } + 2aS

Plugging in what we know, we get 0 = v^{2} - 2aS

Hence, stopping distance in Scenario 1 is S = \frac{v^{2} }{2a}


Now, considering Scenario 2, we have

Initial Velocity V_{i} = 5v m/s

Final Velocity  V_{f} = 0

Acceleration  = - a  m/s^{2}, since it is given to be same in both the cases.

Let the stopping distance this time be S_{2}

We can use the same equation for this scenario too, i.e. V_{f}^{2} } = V_{i}^{2} } + 2aS

Plugging in what we have, we get 0 = (5v)^{2}  - 2aS_{2}

Solving this for  S_{2}, we get S_{2}  = 25. \frac{v^{2} }{2a}

This can be written in terms of S as S_{2} = 25.S

Thus, the car's new stopping distance will be 25 times compared to the older one!

If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim
Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.
