Statement I: The driver of a moving car sees a wall in front of him. To avoid collision, he should apply brakes rather than taking a turn away from the wall. Statement II: Frictional force is needed to stop the car or taking a turn on a horizontal road.

The driver of a car travelling with velocity v on a road suddenly sees a broad wall in front of him at a distance r . He has two alternatives: to turn sharply or a brake instantly. The passenger who is a professor of physics, advises him to brake to avoid collision.

The driver of a truck travelling with a velocity upsilon suddenly notices a brick wall in front of him at a distance d It is better for him to apply brakes or to make a circular turn without applying brakes in order to just avoid crashing into the wall ? Why ?

The driver of a bus travelling with a speed 'v' suddenly observes a wall in front of his bus at a distance 'a'. Father of this driver, who was also a driver, had advised him to take circular turn to avoid hitting in such a situation. However, the driver in question decides otherwise by using his own wisdom. He applies brakes as hard as possible without taking a circular turn, then :
