$A$ body of mass $m$ is travelling with a velocity $u$. When a constant retarding force $F$ is applied,it comes to rest after travelling a distance $s_{1}$. If the initial velocity is $2u$,with the same force $F$,the distance travelled before it comes to rest is $s_{2}$. Then,

  • A
    $s_{2} = 4s_{1}$
  • B
    $s_{2} = 2s_{1}$
  • C
    $s_{2} = \frac{s_{1}}{2}$
  • D
    $s_{2} = s_{1}$
