A car moving at a speed \(v\) is stopped by a retarding force \(F\) in a distance \(s\). If the retarding force were \(3 F\), then the car will be stopped in a distance

  1. A \(\frac{s}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{s}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{s}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{s}{12}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{s}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, initial speed of car, \(v_i=v\) Final speed of car when it stops, \(v_f=0\) Distance travelled \(=s\) Retarding force \(=F\) By Newton's law of motion,…
