The driver of a bus travelling with a speed 'v' suddenly observes a wall in front of his bus at a distance 'a'. Father of this driver, who was also a driver, had advised him to take circular turn to avoid hitting in such a situation. However, the driver in question decides otherwise by using his own wisdom. He applies brakes as hard as possible without taking a circular turn, then :

A

he is more likely to hit the wall

B

he is less likely to hit the wall

C

he is as likey to hit the wall

D

none of the above

How centripetal is provided while taking turn on level circular track ?

A car is moving on a circular path and takes a turn. If R_(1) and R_(2) be the reactions on the inner and outer wheels, respectively, then

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 driver of a three-wheeler moving with a speed of 36 km/h sees a child standing in the middle of the road and brings his vehicle to rest in 4.0 s just in time to save the child. What is the average retarding force on the vehicle ? The mass of the three-wheeler is 400 kg and the mass of the driver is 65 kg.
