A particle starts from rest and traverses a distance $l$ with uniform acceleration, then moves uniformly over a further distance $2 l$ and finally comes to rest after moving a further distance $3 l$ under uniform retardation. Assuming entire motion to be rectilinear motion the ratio of average speed over the journey to the maximum speed on its ways is

  • A

  • B

    $2 / 5$

  • C

A motor car moving at a speed of $72\, km/h$ cannot come to a stop in less than $3.0\,\sec $ whilefor a truck this time interval is $5.0\,\sec $. On a highway, the car is behind the truck  both moving at $72\, km/h$. The truck gives a signal that it is going to stop at emergency. At what distance the car should be from the truck so that it does not bump onto (collide with) the truck. Human response time is $0.5\,\sec $.
