Question

A bus driver makes an emergency stop by slamming on the bus's brakes. Later, he slams on the brakes again with the same amount of force, but this time his speed is twice as much as the first time. How far will the bus skid compared to the first time? A. The stopping distance stays the same. B. The stopping distance is doubled. C. The stopping distance is quadrupled. D. The stopping distance is tripled. E. The mass of the bus is required.
