Get an expression for stopping distance ...

Get an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of intial velocity `v_(a)` and deceleration "a"…

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let s be the distance travelled by a vehicle before it stops
Using `v^(2)-u^(2)=2as,`
`0_(0)^(2)=-2as`
`s=(v_(0)^(2))/(2a)`
The stopping distance is directily proportional to `v_(0)^(2)`. By doubling intial velocity it increase stopping distance by 4 times. Provided deceleration is kept as constant.

    Explain the principle of homogenity of dimensions and derive an expression for the force F acting on a body moving in a circular path depending on the mass of the body (m) , velocity (9v) and radius (r ) of the circular path. Obtain the expression for the force by the dimensional analysis method (take the value k=1 )
