MCQ
A lorry and a car moving with the same K.E. are brought to rest by applying the same retarding force, then
  • A
    Lorry will come to rest in a shorter distance
  • B
    Car will come to rest in a shorter distance
  • Both come to rest in a same distance
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both come to rest in a same distance
(c) Stoppingdistance $=\frac{\text { kineticenergy }}{\text { retarding force }} \Rightarrow s=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{mu}^2}{\mathrm{~F}}$If lorry and car both possess same kinetic energy and retarding force is also equal then both come to rest in the same distance.
