The Math of Highway Speeding

Kinetic energy scales quadratically ($E_k = \frac{1}{2}m v^2$). Doubling speed quadruples required braking energy and braking distance.

At 105 mph, a driver travels 154 feet per second. During a standard 1.5s reaction delay, the vehicle traverses 231 feet before the brakes are even touched.
