Mark the correct statements for a particle going on a straight line

  • A

    if the position and velocity have opposite sign, the particle is moving towards the origin

  • B

    if the velocity is zero for a time interval, the acceleration is zero at any instant within the time interval

  • C

    if the velocity and acceleration have opposite sign, the object is slowing down

  • D

    All of the above

Stopping distance of vehicles : When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity $(v_0)$ and the braking capacity, or deceleration, $-a$ that is caused by the braking. Derive an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of $v_0 $ and $a$.
