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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Loss in K.E. = work done = F.S.
Both retarding force F and K.E. are the same
Hence lorry and car will travel same distance and come to rest.
