    The reaction time for a car driver is 0.9 s. If the car travelling initially with 36 km/h is stopped by the driver after observing a signal by the deceleration of \[5\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}},\] the total distance travelled by the car before coming to rest is:

    A)  19 m                                    

    B)  9 m

    C)  10 m                                    

    D)  28 m

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Before deceleration the car has covered  the distance \[{{s}_{1}}=ut\] Given: u= 36 km/h \[u=\frac{36\times 5}{18}=10\,m/s\] \[t=0.9\,s\] \[{{s}_{1}}=10\times 0.9=9\,m\] Again the time taken in travelling by the car after deceleration \[v=u+gt\]                          \[\left( \begin{align}   & \because \,v=0 \\  & a=-5\,m/{{s}^{2}} \\ \end{align} \right)\] \[0=10-5{{t}_{1}}\] \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{10}{5}=2s\] Now, the distance travelled by the car after deceleration is given by \[{{s}_{2}}=u{{t}_{1}}+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\] \[=10\times 2-\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times {{(2)}^{2}}\] \[20-10=10\,m\] Hence, total distance travelled by car is given by = 9m + 10 m = 19m
