MCQ
Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving in same direction with velocities $30 \,m / s$ and $20 \,m / s$. When car $A$ is at a distance $d$ behind the car $B$, the driver of the car $A$ applies brakes producing uniform retardation of $2 \,m / s ^2$. There will be no collision when ......... $m$
  • A
    $d < 2.5$
  • B
    $d > 125$
  • $d > 25$
  • D
    $d < 125$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$d > 25$
c
(c)

$v^2=u^2+2 a d$

$\Rightarrow 0=(10)^2-2 \times 2 \times d_{ rel }$

$\Rightarrow \frac{100}{4} \leq d_{ rel }$

$\Rightarrow d_{ rel } \geq 25 \,m$

A particle moves along an arc of a circle of radius $R$ . Its velocity depends on the distance covered as $v = a\sqrt s$ , where $a$ is a constant then the angle $\alpha $ between the vector of the total acceleration and the vector of velocity as a function of $s$ will be
A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75\, cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4\, beats$ per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2\, per second$. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340\, m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is
