    An automobile travelling at \[50\,\,km/h\], can be stopped at a distance of \[40\,\,m\] by applying brakes. If the same automobile is travelling at \[90\,\,km/h\], all other conditions remaining same and assuming no skidding, the minimum stopping distance in metres is:

    A) \[72\]                                   

    B) \[92.5\]

    C) \[102.6\]                             

    D) \[129.6\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: When automobile stops, final velocity is zero. From equation of motion                 \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2as\] where \[u\] is initial velocity, \[a\] is acceleration and \[s\]is displacement. Given, \[u=50\,\,km/h,\,\,v=0,\,\,s=40\,\,m\] \[\therefore \]  \[a=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2s}=\frac{{{\left( 50\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}}{2\times 40}\], when\[u'=90\,\,km/h,\,\,a=\frac{{{\left( 50\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}}{2\times 40},\,\,v=0\]                 \[s=\frac{u{{'}^{2}}}{2a}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[s=\frac{{{\left( 90\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}\times 2\times 40}{2\times {{\left( 50\times \frac{5}{18} \right)}^{2}}}\] In metre\[s=129.6\,\,m\]
