A car moving along a straight highway with a speed of `72 km h^(-1)` is brought to a stop within the distance of `100 m`. What is the retardation of the car and how long does it take for the car to stop ?

Answer» Here, `u=72km h^(-1) =72 xx 5/(18)`
`=20 ms^(-1)`:
`v=0, S=100 m: a=?
Acceleration, `a(v^(2)-u^(2))/(2 S) =(0-20^(2))/(2xx 100) =- 2 ms^(2)`
i.e. retardation `=- a=2 ms^(-2)` ltbtgt Time `t= (v-u)/a = (0-20)/(-2) =10 s`.
