It depends on the time difference between the two points. If it's only half a meter, then it's not too far off.

There are also simple empirical formulas for estimating this stuff. At least, there are for aircraft.

But yes, the braking is not linear.

It's definitely close enough over the few feet involved. Either way even if it wasn't a good fit it's good enough to show he was trying to stop.
