The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the minimum stopping distance of a car when its velocity changes from \( u \) to \( 2v \). We will use the kinematic equation that relates initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and distance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Stopping Distance Formula**: The stopping distance \( x \) for a car moving with an initial velocity \( u \) can be derived from the equation: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2as \] where \( v \) is the final velocity (0 when the car stops), \( u \) is the initial velocity, \( a \) is the acceleration (negative for deceleration), and \( s \) is the stopping distance. 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: Since the car comes to a stop, we set \( v = 0 \): \[ 0 = u^2 + 2(-a)x \] Rearranging gives: \[ u^2 = 2ax \] From this, we can express the stopping distance \( x \): \[ x = \frac{u^2}{2a} \] 3. **Finding the Stopping Distance for Velocity \( 2v \)**: Now, we need to find the stopping distance when the car is moving with a velocity of \( 2v \). Let’s denote this stopping distance as \( x' \): \[ x' = \frac{(2v)^2}{2a} \] 4. **Calculating \( x' \)**: Simplifying \( x' \): \[ x' = \frac{4v^2}{2a} = \frac{4}{2} \cdot \frac{v^2}{a} = 2 \cdot \frac{2v^2}{2a} = 2 \cdot x \] This shows that the stopping distance when the car is moving at \( 2v \) is \( 4x \). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving with velocity \( 2v \) is: \[ x' = 4x \] ### Final Answer: The minimum stopping distance of the car moving with velocity \( 2v \) will be \( 4x \). ---
