Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 180

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(s=60 t-5 t^2\) is the distance covered by a particle in time ‘t’. \(\because\) At rest \(v=0\) \[ \begin{array}{rrr} \Rightarrow & \frac{d s}{d t}=0 \\ & 60-10 t=0 \\ \Rightarrow & t=6 \mathrm{~s} \end{array} \] \(\therefore\) Distance covered in \(6 \mathrm{~s}\) before…
