In order to stop a car in shortest disatance on a horizontal road one should

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 brakes of a car moving at 20 m/s along a horizontal road are suddenly applied and it comes to rest after travelling some distance if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.90 and it is assumed that all four tyres behave identically, the shortest distance the car would travel before coming to a stop is

Can you accelerate a car on a frictionless horizontal road by putting more petrol in the engine? Can you stop a car going on a frictionless horizontal road by applying brakes?

A car is moving on a straight horizontal road with a speed v. When brakes are applied to give a constant retardation a, the car is stopped in a shortest distance S. If the car was moving on the same road with a speed 3v and the same retardation a is applied, the shortest distance in which the car is stopped will be

A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed v_(0) . If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is mu , the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is

A spring mass system oscillates in a car. If the car accelerates on a horizontal road, the frequency of oscillation will

A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed v_(0) . If the coefficient of friction between the tyre and the road is mu, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is.
