A car travels due east on a level road for `30 km`. It then turns due north at an intersection and travels `40 km` before stopping. Find the resultant displacement of the car.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`50 km, 53^(@)` north of east
Displacement
`=sqrt((30)^(2)+(40)^(2))=50 km`
`tan alpha=40/30 rArr alpha=53^(@)N` to E

According to a FIR in police station, car A was at rest waiting for a red light at a crossing when it was hit by similar car B from rear side. Both cars had then hard brekes on, and from their skid marks it is surmiesed that they skidded together about 8m in the original direction of travel before coming to rest. Assuming a stopping force of about 0.4 times the combined weights of the cars. the speed of car B just before the collision is approximately [g=10 m//s^(2)]
