To solve the problem step by step, we will use the equations of motion. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Acceleration (a) = -6 m/s² (negative because it is in the opposite direction to the motion) - Time (t) = 2 s - Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the car comes to a stop) ### Step 2: Use the first equation of motion to find the initial velocity (u) ...

A driver takes 0.20 s to apply the brakes after he sees a need for it. This is called the reaction time of the driver. If he ils driving a car at a speed of 54 km/h and the brakes cause a deceleration of 6.0 m/s^2 , find the distance travelled by the car after he sees the need to put the brakes on.

The brakes of a train which is travelling at 30 m//s are applied as the train passes point A. The brakes produce a constant retardation of magnitude 3lambda m//s^(2) until the speed of the train is reduced to 10 m//s . The train travels at this speed for a distance and is then uniformly accelerated at lambda m//s^(2) until it again reaches a speed of 30 m//s as it passes point B. the time taken by the train in travelling from A to B, a distance of 4 km, is 4 min. Sketch the speed time graph for this motion and calculate:- (i) The value of lambda (ii) Distance travelled at 10 m//s .
