- distance covered during the application of brakes.

उत्तर
Initial velocity = u = 36 kmh−1
= u = `36xx5/18` ms−1 = 10 ms−1
Final velocity = v = 0
Time = t = 2s
(i) Retardation = a = ?
v = u + at
0 = 10 + a (2)
2a = −10
a = `(-10)/2` = −5 ms−2
(ii) Distance covered S =?
v2 − u2 = 2aS
(0)2 − (10)2 = 2(−5) S
−10S = −100
S = `100/10`
S = 10 m
