A cyclist is travelling at 15 m s-1. She applies brakes so that she does not collide with a wall 18 m away. What deceleration must she have ?

उत्तर
We have to find the deceleration. We have the following information given,
Initial velocity, (u) = 15 m/s
Final velocity, (v) = 0 m/s
Distance travelled, (s) = 18 m
Let the acceleration be (a)
We can calculate acceleration by using the 3rd equation of motion,
`a = (v^2 - u^2)/(2s)`
Put the values in above equation to find the deceleration,
a = (0-225)/(36)
⇒ `a =-6.25 "m/s"^2`
Thus , the deceleration is 6.25 `"m/s"^2`

What can you say about the motion of an object if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h−1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h−1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
