An automobile moving at a speed of \(40~\text{km/hr} \) can be brought to rest by applying brakes over a distance of \(40 ~\text{m}.\) If the automobile were instead moving at \(80~\text{km/h},\) what would be its minimum stopping distance (assuming the braking force remains the same and no skidding occurs)?
1. \(150~\text{m}\)
2. \(100~\text{m}\)
3. \(75~\text{m}\)
4. \(160~\text{m}\)
