The deceleration of a car traveling on a straight highway is a function of its instantaneous velocity $v$ given by $\omega = a \sqrt{v}$, where $a$ is a constant. If the initial velocity of the car is $v_0$, the distance the car will travel and the time it takes before it stops are:

  • A
    $\frac{2 v_0^{3/2}}{3 a}, \frac{2 \sqrt{v_0}}{a}$
  • B
    $\frac{3 v_0^{3/2}}{2 a}, \frac{1}{2 a} \sqrt{v_0}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 a}{2} v_0^{3/2}, \frac{a}{2} \sqrt{v_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3 a} v_0, \frac{2}{a} v_0$

$A$ body $A$ starts from rest with an acceleration $a_{1}$. After two seconds,another body $B$ starts from rest with an acceleration $a_{2}$. If they travel equal distances in the fifth second after the start of $A$,the ratio $a_{1}: a_{2}$ will be equal to:

Velocity of a body moving along a straight line with uniform acceleration $a$ reduces by $\frac{3}{4}$ of its initial velocity in time $t_0$. The total time of motion of the body till its velocity becomes zero is

Stopping distance of vehicles: When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle,the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity $(v_0)$ and the braking capacity,or deceleration,$-a$ that is caused by the braking. Derive an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of $v_0$ and $a$.
