5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
easy
A truck and a car are moving with equal velocity. On applying the brakes both will stop after certain distance, then
ATruck will cover less distance before rest
BCar will cover less distance before rest
CBoth will cover equal distance
DNone
Solution
(b) Stopping distance $ = \frac{{{\rm{Kinetic\, energy}}}}{{{\rm{Retardins}}\;{\rm{\,force}}}} = \frac{{\frac{1}{2}m{u^2}}}{F}$
If retarding force $(F)$ and velocity $(v)$ are equal then stopping distance $(m)$ (mass of vehicle)
As ${m_{{\rm{car}}}} < {m_{{\rm{truck}}}}$ therefore car will cover less distance before coming to rest.
If retarding force $(F)$ and velocity $(v)$ are equal then stopping distance $(m)$ (mass of vehicle)
As ${m_{{\rm{car}}}} < {m_{{\rm{truck}}}}$ therefore car will cover less distance before coming to rest.
