  2. The stopping distance of a vehicle is an important safety factor. Assuming a constant braking force, use the work-energy theorem to show that a vehicle's stopping distance is proportional to the square of its initial speed. If an automobile traveling at 45 km/h is brought to a stop in 50 m, what would be the stopping distance for an initial speed of 90 km/h?
