A truck and a car are moving with the same K.E. on a straight road. Their engines are simultaneously switched off. Which one will stop at a lesser distance ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By Work -Energy Theorem Loss in K.E. =W.D. against the force `xx` distance of friction
or K.E. `=mu mg S`
For cosntant K.E. `=S prop 1/m`
`:.` Truck will stop in a lesser distance.
