    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 \[s=129.6\,m\]
