work-energy theorem describes the net work-energy theorem describes the net external force. The theorem does not apply to external force. The theorem does not apply to the work done by an individual force (unless it the work done by an individual force (unless it is the only and net force.) is the only and net force.)

• In other words the distance In other words the distance is proportional to the is proportional to the velocity squared.velocity squared.
• So if 60km/hr took 20m, So if 60km/hr took 20m, then 120km/hr takes 80m.then 120km/hr takes 80m.
