a car moving with a speed of 50 km per hour can be stopped by brakes at least 6 m what is the minimum stopping distance of the car is moving at a speed of 100 km per hour
Answers
Answer
Given -
u = 50 km/hr
v = 0 km/hr ( because car is stopped)
s = 6 m
where
u is initial velocity
v is final velocity
s is distance travelled.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
To find -
Distance when initial velocity is 100 km
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Formula used -
Third equation of motion -
v² = u² + 2as
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Solution -
u = 50 km/hr
v = 0 km/hr
s = 6m
Substituting the value -
v² = u² + 2as
0 = (50)² + 2 × a × 6
a = -58 m/s²
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
u = 100 km/hr = 27.7 m/s
v = 0
a = -58 m/s²
Substituting the value
v² = u² + 2as
0 = (27.7)² - 2 × 58 × s
s = 6.6 m
