Stopping distance of vehicles : When bra...

Stopping distance of vehicles : When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity `(upsilon_(0))` and the braking capacity, or deceleration, `-a` that is caused by the braking. Derive an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of `upsilon_(0)` and a.
