As you double your speed from 20 mph to 40 mph, what do you think will happen to the distance you need to come to a complete stop? Estimate in terms of a number (E.G., 1.5 times, 3 times, etc.)
We think that as you double your speed your braking distance will add 1 to 2 seconds to stop. Because your momentum will take you farther. Jordon, Jon, and Josh☺

Tea's perdiction is: i think it will take twice as much.
Cari's perdiction is:It will take twice as long to stop.
Amie's perdiction is: I think it will take about twice as long for it to come to stop.
Erin-it will take twice as long to stop
Claire-you get there twice as fast but it takes longer (twice) as long to stop
Joey-twice as long
Lexi - I think it will take twice as long.
Jennie- I think it will take a little bit more then twice as long because i read about it in the drivers ed manual book thing!
Are prediction is- It will take two times as far to stop.
Kyle and Ted
Summer- I think it will take twice as long to stop.
Tory- It will take twice as much.
Bryan- it will take 1.5 times as long.
Ryans and Mikes prediction is dat it will take 1 and a half the time 4 the car 2 stop.
