        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, ie., 120 km/h, the stopping distance will be:

    A)  20m                                     

    B)  40m

    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 3rd 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: \[0={{\left( 120\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}-2a\times {{s}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{s}_{2}}=\frac{{{\left( 120\times 5/18 \right)}^{2}}}{2a}\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{{{s}_{1}}}{{{s}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow {{s}_{2}}=4{{s}_{1}}=4\times 20=80\,m\]
