Answer 20

depends on how fast a vehicle is travelling before the brakes are applied, and is proportional to the square of the initial speed#

Question 21

Newtons first law

Answer 21

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it

Question 22

Newton second law

Answer 22

In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration
