A truck and a car moving with the same KE are brought to rest by the application of brakes which provide equal retarding force. Which of them will come to rest in a shorter distance ?

A

The truck

B

The car

C

Both will travel same distance before coming to rest

D

The distance of travel will depend on the horse power of the vehicle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`x = (KE)/(F)`. Therefore, x will remain the same for truck and car.
