further you can assume that braking will always have drag acting with it , while under acceleration drag opposes it.
Now while braking from say 200mph to 160mph the 'time' will be less than that taken from 40mph to 0mph. Distance taken is not a constant factor in this scenario ( but if you are in the seat approaching an immovable object I am sure you will think it is )
