    An automobile travelling with a speed of 60 km/h, can brake to stop within a distance of 20 m. If the car is going twice as fast, i.e., 120 km/h, the stopping distance will be     AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2004

    A) 20 m     

    B)        40 m     

    C)        60 m     

    D)        80 m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The braking retardation will remain same and assumed to be constant, let it be a. From equation of motion,\[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2as\] 1st case \[0={{\left( 60\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}-2a\times {{s}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{s}_{1}}=\frac{{{(60\times 5/18)}^{2}}}{2a}\] 2nd case \[0={{\left( 120\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}-2a\times {{s}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{s}_{2}}=\frac{{{(120\times 5/18)}^{2}}}{2a}\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{{{s}_{1}}}{{{s}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{s}_{2}}=4{{s}_{1}}\] \[=4\times 20=80\,m\]
