The stopping distance s of a car varies directly as the square of its speed v. If a car traveling at 30 mph requires 45 ft to stop, find the stopping distance for a car traveling at 45 mph.
d= kv^2
car traveling at 30 mph requires 45 ft to stop,
45= k*(30)^2
k= 45/900= 1/20
stopping distance for a car traveling at 45 mph.
d=k*v^2
d = (1/20) * 45^2
d=101.25 ft

The ratio of speeds is 45:30 = 3:2.
Since the stopping distance varies as the square of the speed, the ratio of stopping distances is 3^2:2^2 = 9:4.
ANSWER: 45*(9/4) = 405/4 = 101.25 feet
