A truck of mass M and a car of mass M 10 moving with same momentum are brought to halt by the application of same breaking force. The ratio of the distances travelled by truck and car before they come to stop is
Options
- A1: 10
- B1: 10
- C100: 1
- D5: 1
Correct answer
A. 1: 10
Step-by-step solution
Mass of truck, m₁=M Mass of car, m₂= M 10 Initial velocity of truck =u₁ Initial velocity of c a r=u₂ Momentum of car & truck are same thus, aligned & p _ T = p _ C & m ₁ u ₁= m ₂ u ₂ & M u ₁= ( M 10 ) u ₂ & u ₁ u ₂ = 1 10 aligned Both car & truck will come to rest, thus their final velocity is zero. using eq ^ n of motion, v ^2- u ^2=2 as Rearranging, put v =0 & a = F m S =- mu ^2 2 ~F Ratio of distance travelled by truck & car is given as aligned & S ₁ ~S ₂ = m ₁ u ₁^2 2 ~F 2 ~F ~m ₂ u ₂^2 = p ₁(2 ~F ) u ₁ ( p ₂ )
