A truck of mass \(\mathrm{M}\) and a car of mass \(\frac{\mathrm{M}}{10}\) moving with same momentum are brought to halt by the application of same breaking force. The ratio of the distances travelled by truck and car before they come to stop is

  1. A \(1: 10\)
  2. B \(1: \sqrt{10}\)
  3. C \(100: 1\)
  4. D \(5: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of truck, \(m_1=M\) Mass of car, \(m_2=\frac{M}{10}\) Initial velocity of truck \(=u_1\) Initial velocity of \(c a r=u_2\) Momentum of car \& truck are same thus,…
