Ramesh can bring a car at 30km/h to a halt by applying brakes with in a distance of 10m what distance would the same car cover before coming to rest if it's initial velocity be 60km/h
Answers
Newton's motion equation:
v^2 = u^2 – 2as…….. where a: retardation (opposite of acceleration) and s: distance covered.
1st case:
u = 30 km/h = 25/3 m/s
v = 0,
s = 8 m
Therefore, 0^2 = (25/3)^2 - 2 × a × 8
This gives a = 4.34 m/s^2
2nd case:
u = 60 km/h = 50/3 m/s
v = 0
a = 4.34 m/s^2
Now, 0^2 = (50/3)^2 - 2 × 4.34 × s
This gives s = 32 m
Thus on applying brakes the car will stop after covering 32 m

Given :
▪ Initial velocity of car A = 30kmph
▪ Stopping distance for car A = 10m
▪ Initial velocity of car B = 60kmph
To Find :
▪ Stopping distance for car B.
Concept :
↗ This question is completely based on the concept of stopping distance.
↗ Stopping distance is defined as the distance travelled by body before it is brought to rest by applying brakes. (constant retardation)
✴ Deceleration has said to be constant throughout the period of motion, we can easily apply third equation of kinematics to solve this question.
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- a denotes deceleration
- s denotes stopping distance
[Note : -ve sign of a shows retardation.]
Calculation :
⚠ Stopping distance doesn't depend on the mass of moving body.
