Two bodies of unequal mass are moving in...

Two bodies of unequal mass are moving in the same direction with equal kinetic energy. The two bodies are brought to rest by applying retarding force of same magnitude. How would the distance moved by them before coming to rest compare ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Work done in stopping the body `=` force `xx` distance `=` K.E. of body , which is same for two bodies.
As retarding force applied is the same, therefore, distance moved by both the bodies before coming to rest must be the same.
