Momentum = 1/2*m*v^2, good point. The fact that it is not a linear relationship between velocity and the energy that must be dissipated is a great point. You have twice the energy at 100 MPH than you do at 70 MPH, considering your brakes have a finite rate for dissipating energy, the effect on stopping distances is obvious.
