Question

A car
is moving with speed of 20 m/s.
After applying the brakes, If the
maximum deceleration produced is 10m/ s

then find
the
distance covered by the
car
before
coming to rest​

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER

Given,

Speed=20m/s,d=50m,retardation=5m/s

2

Let the ppossible reaction time be t

s

So the car moves 20tm And applied breaks with retardation 5m/s

2

So, the total distance under retardation is ≤50m

Thus the distance under the application of retardation =

2×5
