An unloaded bus can be stopped by applying brakes on a straight road after covering a distance $x$. Suppose the passengers add $50 \%$ of its weight as the load and the braking force remains unchanged,how far will the bus go after the application of the brakes? (Velocity of the bus in both cases is the same.)

  • A
    $x$
  • B
    $1.5 x$
  • C
    $2 x$
  • D
    $2.5 x$

$A$ bus moving on a level road with a velocity $v$ can be stopped at a distance of $x$ by the application of a retarding force $F$. The load on the bus is increased by $25\%$ by boarding the passengers. Now, if the bus is moving with the same speed and if the same retarding force is applied, the distance travelled by the bus before it stops is
