प्रश्न
A car moving along a straight highway with a speed of 126 km h–1 is brought to a stop within a distance of 200 m. What is the retardation of the car (assumed uniform), and how long does it take for the car to stop?

उत्तर
Initial velocity of the car, u = 126 km/h =`(126xx1000)/(60xx60)` ms-1 35 m/s
Final velocity of the car, v = 0
Distance covered by the car before coming to rest, s = 200 m
Retardation produced in the car = a
From third equation of motion, a can be calculated as:
`v^2 - u^2 = 2as`
∴ `(0)^2 - (35)^2 = 2 xx a xx 200`
`a = (35 xx 35)/(2xx200) = -3.06 "m/s"^2`
From first equation of motion, time (t) taken by the car to stop can be obtained as:
v = u + at
`t = (v-u)/a = (-35)/-3.06 = 11.44 s`

A three-wheeler starts from rest, accelerates uniformly with 1 m s–2 on a straight road for 10 s, and then moves with uniform velocity. Plot the distance covered by the vehicle during the nth second (n = 1,2,3….) versus n. What do you expect this plot to be during accelerated motion: a straight line or a parabola?
A boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can, equal to 49 m/s. How much time does the ball take to return to his hands? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of 5 m/s and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can, how long does the ball take to return to his hands?
Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff 200 m high with initial speeds of 15 m/s and 30 m/s. Verify that the graph shown in Fig. 3.27 correctly represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first. Neglect air resistance and assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground. Take g = 10 m/s2. Give the equations for the linear and curved parts of the plot.

A driver takes 0.20 s to apply the brakes after he sees a need for it. This is called the reaction time of the driver. If he is driving a car at a speed of 54 km/h and the brakes cause a deceleration of 6.0 m/s2, find the distance travelled by the car after he sees the need to put the brakes on.
Complete the following table:
| Car Model | Driver X Reaction time 0.20 s |
Driver Y Reaction time 0.30 s |

Speed = 72 km/h Braking distance c = ........... Total stopping distance d = ............ |
| B (deceleration on hard braking = 7.5 m/s2) | Speed = 54 km/h Breaking distance e = ........... Total stopping distance f = ............ |
Speed 72 km/h Braking distance g = ............. Total stopping distance h = ............ |
