a car moving with a speed of 50 km/hr can be spotted by breaks after at least 6m.If the same car is moving with a speed of 100km/hr the minimum stopping distance is?

To find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at a speed of 100 km/hr, we can use the concept of stopping distance which is directly proportional to the square of the speed.

The stopping distance of a car is the sum of the thinking distance (the distance covered while the driver reacts to a situation) and the braking distance (the distance covered while the car decelerates to a stop).

In this case, the stopping distance mentioned is 6 meters when the car is moving at a speed of 50 km/hr.

We can use this information to find the braking distance for the car when it is moving at a speed of 100 km/hr.

Let's use the formula:

Stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance

Since the thinking distance remains the same, we need to find the change in the braking distance as the speed doubles.

According to the concept stated above, the stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of the speed. Therefore, if the speed doubles, the stopping distance should become four times the original stopping distance.

Let "x" be the original braking distance at a speed of 50 km/hr. Then the new braking distance at a speed of 100 km/hr is 4x (as it has become four times the original value).

So, the minimum stopping distance is 6 meters at a speed of 50 km/hr, and it becomes 4 times that value, which is 24 meters, when the car is moving at a speed of 100 km/hr.
