A thief in a stolen car passes through a police check post at his top speed of `90 kmh^-1.` A motorcycle cop, reacting after 2 s, accelerates from rest at `5 ms^-2.` His top speed being `108 kmh^-1.` Find the maximum separation between policemen and thief.A. `112.5 m`B. `115 m` (c) 116.5 m (1) None of theseC. `116.5 m`D. None of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - A `90 km//h=90xx5/18=25 m//s` `180 km//h=108xx5/18=30 m//s` At maximum separation their velocities are same. `:.` Velocity of motorcycle=`25 m//s` or `at=25` or `t=5s` But thief has travelled up to 7s. `s_1` =displacement of thief `=v_1 t_1=25xx7=175m` `s_2`=displacement of motorcycle `=1/2xxa_2t_2^2` `=1/2xx5xx(5)^2` `=62.5m` `:.` Maximum separation `=s_1-s_2=112.5 m` |
