JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति JEE PYQ - One Dimensional Motion

  • question_answer
    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 2004]

    A) 20 m

    B) 40 m  

    C) 60 m

    D) 80 m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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