If a car traveling at 60 km/h will skid 20m when its brakes lock, how far will it skid if it traveling at 120 km/h when its brakes lock?

80 m (assuming the car's deceleration is the same)

Explanation:

The distance the car needs to completely stop is given by the following suvat equation:

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u is the initial velocity of the car

a is the deceleration of the car

d is  how far the car travels

Re-arranging the equation, we have

So, we see that d is proportional to the square of the initial velocity, . Therefore, if in the initial situation the car starts with and travels d=20 m, then if the car travels at twice the initial velocity (, it will cover a distance four times larger, i.e. 80 m.

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is
