    Two cars A and B are travelling in the same direction with velocities\[{{v}_{1}}\]and\[{{v}_{2}}({{v}_{1}}>{{v}_{2}})\]. When the car A is at a distance d behind the car B, the driver of the car A applies the brake producing uniform retardation, a. There will be no collision when:

    A)  \[d<\left( \frac{{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}}{2a} \right)\]

    B)         \[d>\frac{v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}}{2a}\]

    C)  \[d>\frac{{{({{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}})}^{2}}}{2a}\]

    D)         \[d<\frac{v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}}{2a}\]

    E)  none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For same direction relative velocity \[=|{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}|\] Distance covered, \[d=\frac{{{({{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}})}^{2}}}{2a}\] For no collision, \[d>\frac{{{({{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}})}^{2}}}{2a}\]
