Two cars travelling towards each other on a straight road at velocity `10 m//s` and `12 m//s` respectively. When they are 150 metre apart, both drivers apply their brakes and each car decelerates at `2 m//s^(2)` until it stops. How far apart will they be when they have both come to a stop?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
89 m


Total distance `=25+36=61 m` covers by both car
`:.` Remaining distance `=150-61=89 m`
