When a vehicle's speed triples, the stopping distance increases by a factor of nine, assuming the same braking force is applied. This is because stopping distance is proportional to the square of the speed. Therefore, if the speed is tripled, the time it takes to stop will also increase, typically making it significantly longer than at the original speed.

How much should you reduce your speed on ice?

Reduce your speed by at least half on ice to maintain control of your vehicle and prevent skidding. Drive at a cautious speed and leave extra distance between your car and other vehicles to allow for longer braking distances.

What happen when we drive unlimited speed with vehicles?

I am not entirely sure what you mean with "unlimited speed". You CAN'T travel at unlimited speed; in theory, the speed is limited by the speed of light, and in practice, the engineering challenges are currently such that the actual speed you can achieve is much, much less than that.

How much speed does it take to jump a bmx bike?

It's much more about technique than it is about speed. With the right technique (bunnyhopping) you can jump a BMX at crawling speed, on flat ground. After that, more speed + bigger ramps = longer/higher jumps.

Do waves with longer wavelengths have higher or lower frequency's?

Waves with longer wavelengths have lower frequencies. The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. This relationship is represented by the equation: frequency = speed of wave / wavelength.


If a 2400 SUV has the same speed as the 1200 car how much kinetic energy does it have?

The formula for kinetic energy is MV2/2 where M is the mass of the object and V is the velocity of the object. Since the vehicles have the same speed, the only thing changing in your question is the mass of the vehicles. Therefore the SUV has twice the mass of the car, thus twice the kinetic energy.


How far is 9000 light years?

900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light. If you travel at any slower speed, it will take longer of course. But do some reading on time dilation - if the traveller travels at a speed very near the speed of light, from his point of view it will take much less time.900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light.
