Answer» Answer: Given, INITIAL VELOCITY (u) = 60 km/hr Final Velocity (v) = 0 km/hr = 0.02 km Retardation (a) = v² = u² - 2aS = 0 = (60)² - [2*a*0.02] = 0.04a = 3600 = a = 90000 km/hr² Now, Initial Velocity (u) = 120 km/hr Final Velocity (v) = 0 km/hr Retardation (a) = 90000 km/hr² Here, we are assuming that the car retards at the same rate LIKE the last time. = v² = u² - 2aS = 0 = (120)² - [2*90000*S] = 180000S = 14400 = S = 0.008 km or, = S = 8 m Answer: Assuming that the car retards at the same rate, it'll travel upto 0.008 km or 8 m. I hope this helps. |
