A big and a small car are moving with the same kinetic energy on a straight road. If engines of both the car are switched off together. Which one will stop after covering more distance?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation of two cars (a big car and a small car) moving with the same kinetic energy and then coming to a stop due to friction when their engines are turned off. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables**: - Let the mass of the small car be \( m_1 \) and the mass of the big car be \( m_2 \). We know that \( m_2 > m_1 \). - Both cars have the same kinetic energy \( KE \). ...
