Is it possible that the brakes of a car are so parfect that car stops instantaneously . If not give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. If the car stops instantaneously, this means that the velocity is reduced to zero is an infinitesimally small interval of time. This would further mean that the car has infinite . deceleration. This is not possible. Thus, we cannot have a car which can stop instantaneously.
