    The car starts from rest on a half kilometer long bridge. The coefficient of friction between the tyre and the road is 1.0. One cannot drive through the bridge in less than (take g = 10\[m\text{/}{{s}^{2}}\])

    A)  10 s                                      

    B)  8 s

    C)  7 s                                         

    D)  5 s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The acceleration produced in the car \[ma=\mu R\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[ma=\mu \,mg\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=\mu g=1\times 10\,m\text{/}{{s}^{2}}=10\,m\text{/}{{s}^{2}}\] For crossing of the bridge in minimum time, it has to travel with maximum acceleration. Here,     \[u=0,\,s=500\,m\] \[a=10\,m\text{/}{{s}^{2}}\] From equation \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]we have, \[500=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times {{t}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{t}^{2}}=100\Rightarrow t=10\,s\]
