formula 1:
force = energy / distance
->
distance = energy / force
formula 2:
kinetic energy = .5 * mass * velocity^2
->
distance = .5 * mass * velocity^2 / braking force
formula 3:
braking force = friction * weight = friction * mass * 9.8
combining all formulas together we get:
distance = .5 * mass * velocity^2 / (friction * mass * 9.8)
distance = .5 * velocity^2 / friction / 9.8
distance = velocity^2 / friction / 4.9
