The distance required for a car to stop is directly proportional to the
square of its velocity. If a car can stop in 112.5 meters at 15 kilometers
per hour, how many meters are needed to stop at 25 kilometers per hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

312.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let distance be d and velocity be v , then

d = kv² ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 112.5, v= 15

112.5 = k × 15² = 225k ( divide both sides by 225 )

0.5 = k

d = 0.5v² ← equation of variation

When v = 25 , then

d = 0.5 × 25² = 0.5 × 625 = 312.5 m
