JEE MainPhysicsMotion in A Straight LineNumerical+4 / −1
A car is moving with speed of 150 km/h150 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}150 km/h and after applying the break it will move 27 m27 \mathrm{~m}27 m before it stops. If the same car is moving with a speed of one third the reported speed then it will stop after travelling ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​ m distance.

Correct answer: 3

  1. Use the stopping distance relation

When the same braking force is applied, the retardation aaa is constant. Using

v2=u2+2asv^2=u^2+2asv2=u2+2as

For stopping, final velocity v=0v=0v=0, so

0=u2+2as0=u^2+2as0=u2+2as Rightarrow s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}$$

Thus, stopping distance is proportional to the square of initial speed:

s∝u2s\propto u^2s∝u2

  1. Compare the two cases

Let the original speed be uuu, and stopping distance be s1=27 ms_1=27\text{ m}s1​=27 m.

If the new speed is one-third of the original, then

u2=u3u_2=\frac{u}{3}u2​=3u​

So the new stopping distance is

s2=s1(u2u)2s_2=s_1\left(\frac{u_2}{u}\right)^2s2​=s1​(uu2​​)2

s2=27(13)2=27⋅19=3 ms_2=27\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2=27\cdot\frac{1}{9}=3\text{ m}s2​=27(31​)2=27⋅91​=3 m

  1. Final answer

The car will stop after travelling

3 m\boxed{3\text{ m}}3 m​
