Research An object that is falling through the atmosphere is subjected to two external forces. The first force is the gravitational force‚ expressed as the weight of the object. The weight equation which is weight (W) = mass (M) x gravitational acceleration (A) which is 9.8 meters per square second on the surface of the earth.

The table below shows the breaking distances that were obtained at different speeds: If we show the relationship of the speed and the breaking distance by plotting a graph like this one: If we want to get an equation that helps us identify the relationship between the Speed and the breaking distance. We can see that the line makes a form of a parabola so we drive it through out calculator to get the following results:
