NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
What is the relationship between stopping distance and initial velocity according to the laws of motion?
Stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial velocity.
Stopping distance is proportional to the initial velocity.
Stopping distance is inversely proportional to the initial velocity.
Stopping distance is independent of the initial velocity.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial velocity, meaning that if the initial velocity is doubled, the stopping distance increases by a factor of four, as stated in the NCERT context.
