Question 1062054: A car traveling at 60 km/h will skid 30 m when its brakes are locked. If the same car is traveling at 180 km/h, what will be the skidding distance? Be sure to show all work to support your answer.

The distance is proportional to the square of the speed. Since 180/60 = 3 and 3^2 = 9, the distance will be 30*9
:
NOTE: Based on Kinetic Energy - Coefficient of Kinetic Friction:
friction*distance = 1/2mv^2 so distance is proportional to v^2
