If the braking distance of the motorcycle you are riding at the speed of 30 km/h is 6 metres, increasing the speed to 60 km/h will result in:

Explanation

Correct answer: increasing the braking distance to 24 metres.

According to the laws of physics, the braking distance does not increase proportionally to speed, but to its square. This means that doubling the speed (from 30 km/h to 60 km/h) results in a fourfold increase in braking distance. Therefore, the initial distance of 6 metres will increase to 24 metres (6 m x 4 = 24 m).
