    The engine of a motorcycle can produce a maximum acceleration 5 m/s2. Its brakes can produce a maximum retardation 10 m/s2. What is the minimum time in which it can cover a distance of 1.5 km                [Pb. PMT 2002]

    A)  30 sec

    B)             15 sec

    C)             10 sec 

    D)             5 sec

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    If a body starts from rest with acceleration \[\alpha \] and then retards with retardation \[\beta \] and comes to rest. The total time taken for this journey is t and distance covered is S then\[S=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\alpha \beta {{t}^{2}}}{(\alpha +\beta )}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{5\times 10}{(5+10)}\times {{t}^{2}}\]             Þ   \[1500=\frac{1}{2}\frac{5\times 10}{(5+10)}\times {{t}^{2}}\]  \[\Rightarrow \ \ t=30\sec \].
