the square of the 20mph speed is 400 and we know that the breaking distance is 10. from here we set up a proportion:
10/400=x/3600. Solve for x
we get x=90 = D

Triple the speed means 3^2 times the stopping distance.

9 * 10 = 90 metres!

D = function(v^2)
so D = k V^2
10 = k (20^2)

Hence[spoiler] D= 60^2 x 10 /20^2 = 90 meters Ans D[/spoiler]
