JEE MainPhysicsMotion in A Straight LineNumerical+4 / −1
A car is moving with speed of and after applying the break it will move before it stops. If the same car is moving with a speed of one third the reported speed then it will stop after travelling m distance.

Correct answer: 3
- Use the stopping distance relation
When the same braking force is applied, the retardation is constant. Using
For stopping, final velocity , so
Rightarrow s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}$$
Thus, stopping distance is proportional to the square of initial speed:
- Compare the two cases
Let the original speed be , and stopping distance be .
If the new speed is one-third of the original, then
So the new stopping distance is
- Final answer
The car will stop after travelling
