प्रश्न
The average time taken by a normal person to react to an emergency is one fifteenth of a second and is called the 'reaction time'. If a bus is moving with a velocity of 60 km/h and its driver sees a child running across the road, how much distance would the bus had moved before he could press the brakes? The reaction time of the people increases when they are intoxicated. How much distance had the bus moved if the reaction time of the driver were 1/2 s under the influence of alcohol?

उत्तर
Bus is moving with initial velocity of u = 60 km/hr.
60 km/hr = ( 60 X 1000)/3600 = u = 16.66 ms-1.
Reaction time = t =1/15 sec.
Distance would the bus had moved before pressing the bus would be = u X t.
S = 16.66 X 1/15 = 1.1 m.
Now if the driver is intoxiacated then reaction time would be t = 1/2 seconds.
So S becomes S = u X t = 16.66 X 1/2 = 8.33m.

A girl had designed a clap switch for a science exhibition that enabled her to switch on or off an alarm just with clapping of hands. While testing her device in a hall, she noticed that once the alarm has sounded it followed with another one due to echo of the clap, that is, the sound reflected by the walls. She recorded the two soundings of alarm with her tape recorder and found out that time difference in between them is 0.1 s. If the distance of the walls be 15 m, calculate the speed of sound.
