For a train engine moving with speed of ...

For a train engine moving with speed of `20 ms^–1` , the driver must apply brakes at a distance of 500m before the station for the train to come to rest at the station. If the brakes were applied at half of this distance, the train engine would cross the station with speed `sqrt(x) ms^(–1)`. The value of x is_________.
(Assuming same retardation is produced by brakes)

Initially a car is moving with speed of 20 ms^(-1) and covers a distance of 100 m before it comes to rest. On making the initial speed of car 40 ms^(-1) keeping the acceleration same, the distance travelled by car before it comes to rest is

A moving train is stopped by applying brakes. It stops after travelling 80 m . If the speed of the train is doubled and retardation remain the same, it will cover a distance-

When a car driver travelling at a speed of 10 m/s applies brakes and brings the car to rest in 20 s, then retardation will be :

A car is traveling at 7.0 m/s when the driver applies the brakes. The car moves 1.5 m before it comes to a complete stop. It the car had been moving at 14 m/s, how far would it have continued to move after the brakes were applied ? Assume the braking force is constant .
