Braking distance (1 point) Responses increases as speed decreases. increases as speed decreases. decreases as speed increases. decreases as speed increases. doubles if speed doubles. doubles if speed doubles. increases as speed increases.

Answer 1

Braking distance increases as speed increases. The relationship between speed and braking distance is not linear; in fact, the braking distance increases with the square of the speed. This means that if the speed doubles, the braking distance increases by a factor of four, not two. Therefore, the correct response is:

• increases as speed increases.
