    Speeds of two identical cars are u are 4u at a specific instant. The ratio of the respective distances in which the two cars are stopped in the same time

    A)  1:1                                        

    B)  1: 4

    C)  1:8                                        

    D)  1:16

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For first car, \[{{u}_{1}}=u,\]       \[{{v}_{1}}=0,\]            \[{{t}_{1}}=t\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{v}_{1}}={{u}_{1}}+{{a}_{1}}t\]                                 \[0=u-{{a}_{1}}t\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[u={{a}_{1}}t\] Now,     \[v_{1}^{2}=u_{1}^{2}+2{{a}_{1}}{{s}_{1}}\]                 \[0={{u}^{2}}-2{{a}_{1}}{{s}_{1}}\]                 \[{{u}^{2}}=2{{a}_{1}}{{s}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{u}^{2}}=2\times \frac{u}{t}\times {{s}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{s}_{1}}=\frac{ut}{2}\]                              ??(ii) For second car,                 \[{{u}_{2}}=4u,\]              \[{{v}_{2}}=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{v}_{2}}={{u}_{2}}+at\]                 \[0=4u-{{a}_{2}}t\]                 \[{{a}_{2}}=\frac{4u}{t}\]              ??(iii) Now,      \[v_{2}^{2}=u_{2}^{2}+2{{a}_{2}}{{s}_{2}}\]                 \[0=u_{2}^{2}-2{{a}_{2}}{{s}_{2}}\]                 \[u_{2}^{2}=2{{a}_{2}}{{s}_{2}}\]                 \[{{(4u)}^{2}}=2\times \frac{4u}{t}\times {{s}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{s}_{2}}=\frac{4ut}{2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{s}_{1}}}{{{s}_{2}}}=\frac{ut/2}{4ut/2}=\frac{1}{4}\]
