Solution
Braking distance: Distance travelled after the brakes are applied.
Total stopping distance = Braking distance + Distance travelled in the reaction time
Case A:
Deceleration = 6.0 m/s2
For driver X:
Initial velocity, u = 54 km/h = 15 m/s
Final velocity, v = 0
Braking distance,
Distance travelled in the reaction time = 15 × 0.20 = 3 m
Total stopping distance, b = 19 + 3 = 22 m
For driver Y:
Initial velocity, u = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Final velocity, v = 0
Braking distance,
Total stopping distance, d = 33 + 6 = 39 m
Case B:
Deceleration = 6.0 m/s2
Now, we have:
e = 15 m
f = 18 m
g = 27 m
h = 33 m
| Car Model | Driver X Reaction Time = 0.20 s |
Driver Y Reaction Time = 0.30 s |
| A (deceleration on hard braking = 6.0 m/s2) | Speed = 54 km/h Braking distance, a = 19 m Total stopping distance, b = 22 m |
Speed = 72 km/h Braking distance, c = 33 m Total stopping distance, d = 39 m |
| B (deceleration on hard braking = 7.5 m/s2) | Speed = 54 km/h Breaking distance, e = 15 m Total stopping distance, f = 18 m |
Speed = 72 km/h Braking distance, g = 27 m Total stopping distance, h = 33 m |

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationery goli without falling on the ground earlier?
