The energy to be dissipated is proportional to 1/2 m v^2 ie proportional to v^2 for the same car
In turn F * d = work done.
F is constant ( same brakes)
so d is proportional to v^2
if v is multiplied by 3 then d is multiplied by 3^2 = 9
distance = 180m

Answer:
If the car is travelling at 150 km/hr it will travel 180.12 m before stopping.
Explanation:
Here for the first condition
Initial speed, u = 50 km/hr = 13.89 m/s
Distance, s = 20 m
Final speed, v = 0 m/s
We have equation of motion, v² = u²+2as
0² = 13.89²+2 x a x 20
a = -4.82 m/s²
Deceleration of car brake = 4.82 m/s²
For the second condition
Initial speed, u = 150 km/hr = 41.67 m/s
Final speed, v = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = -4.82 m/s²
We have equation of motion, v² = u²+2as
0² = 41.67²-2 x 4.82 x s
s = 180.12 m
If the car is travelling at 150 km/hr it will travel 180.12 m before stopping.
