According to a FIR in police station, car A was at rest waiting for a red light at a crossing when it was hit by similar car B from rear side. Both cars had then hard brekes on, and from their skid marks it is surmiesed that they skidded together about 8m in the original direction of travel before coming to rest. Assuming a stopping force of about 0.4 times the combined weights of the cars. the speed of car B just before the collision is approximately `[g=10 m//s^(2)]`

A

8m/s

B

4m/s

C

16 m/s

D

32 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`S=8,v=0,a=-(0.4)g=-4`
`rArru=sqrt(2xx4xx8)=8=` velocity after collision and velocity after collision and velocity before collision be `v_(0)`
2mu=`mv_(0)`
`rArr=v_(0)=16 m//s`

Accordingto a FIR in police station, car A wassittingat rest waiting for a red light at a crossing when it was hit by an identical car B from rear side. Bothcars had their hand brakes on, and from their skid marks it is surmised that they skidded together about 6 m in the oriinal directionof travel before coming to reat. Assuming a stopping force of about 0.7 times the combined weights of the cars (that is, mu=0.7 ) what must have been the approximate speed of car B just before the collision ?

Most of the skid mearks left at the scence of an automobile accident are left by the car tires after the collision occurs. How can measuring the direction and length of these skid marks. After the collision reveal whether either of the cars involved was speeding before the collision?

A car is travelling at 30 km/h in a circle of radius 60 m. What is the minimum value of mu_(s) for the car to make the turn without skidding ?

Initially a car is moving with speed of 20 ms^(-1) and covers a distance of 100 m before it comes to rest. On making the initial speed of car 40 ms^(-1) keeping the acceleration same, the distance travelled by car before it comes to rest is

A constant power P is applied to a car starting from rest. If v is the velocity of the car at time t, then:

A car starts from rest in a circular flat road of radius R with an acceleration a. The friction coefficient between the road and the tyred is mu Find the distance car will travel before is start skidding.
