A truck and a car moving with the same K.E. on a straight road. their engines are simultaneously switched off. Which one will stop at a lesser distance?

Answer»

The vehicle stops when its K.E. is spent in working against the force as friction between the tyres and the road. This force of friction varies directly with the weight of the vehicle.

As, K.E. = work done

= Force of friction × distance

or E = f × s

or s = E/f

For given K.E., s, will be smaller where F is larger is such as in the case of truck.
