A lorry and a car moving with the same kinetic energy are brought to rest by the application of brakes which provides equal retarding forces. Which of them will come to rest in a shorter distance?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation involving the lorry and the car, both of which are moving with the same kinetic energy and are subjected to equal retarding forces.

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Understanding Kinetic Energy**:
- The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula:
\[
KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2
