    If a train travelling at 72 kmph is to be brought to rest in a distance of 200 metres, then its retardation should be             [SCRA 1998; MP PMT 2004]

    A)             20 \[m{{s}^{-2}}\]  

    B)             10\[m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    C)             2 \[m{{s}^{-2}}\]    

    D)             1 \[m{{s}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[u=72\ kmph=20m/s,\] \[v=0\]             By using \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2as\]Þ \[a=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2s}\]\[=\frac{{{(20)}^{2}}}{2\times 200}=1\ m/{{s}^{2}}\]
