    A lorry and a car moving with the same K.E. are brought to rest by applying the same retarding force, then [IIT 1973; MP PMT 2003]

    A)             Lorry will come to rest in a shorter distance

    B)             Car will come to rest in a shorter distance

    C)             Both come to rest in a same distance

    D)             None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[\text{Stopping distance}=\frac{\text{kinetic energy}}{\text{retarding force}}\]Þ\[s=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m{{u}^{2}}}{F}\] If lorry and car both possess same kinetic energy and retarding force is also equal then both come to rest in the same distance.
