A car travelling at a speed of $30\, km/hour$  is brought to a halt in $8\, m$ by applying brakes. If the same car is travelling at $60 \,km/hour$, it can be brought to a halt with the same braking force in ............... $\mathrm{m}$

$s \propto {u^2}$ i.e. if speed becomes double then stopping distance will become four times i.e.$8 \times 4 = 32m$
