A vehicle of mass 'M' is moving with momentum 'P' on a rough horizontal road. The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the horizontal road is ' '. The stopping distance is (g = acceleration due to gravity)
Options
- AP ² 2 g
- BP ² 2 gM ²
- CP ² gM ²
- DP ² 2 m ²
Correct answer
B. P ² 2 gM ²
Step-by-step solution
Initial velocity u = p m Final velocity v =0 (as the vehicle must stop) Force of friction = mg (where g is acceleration due to gravity) Acceleration due to friction =- mg m =- g (-ve sign shows that it is retardation ) Using the kinematic expression v ²= u ²=2 as and inserting various values we get stopping distance s array l (0)²- p ² ~m ² =2(- g ) s s = p ² 2 ² g array
