An object travelling at a speed of 36kmph comes to rest in a distance of 200 m after the brakes were applied. The retardation produced by the brakes is

  1. A 0.25 m s2
  2. B 0.20 m s2
  3. C 0.15 m s2
  4. D 0.10 m s2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.25 m s2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the equations of kinematics, v2-u2=2as Given, u=36 kmph=10 m s-1 and s=200 m ⇒0-102=2×a×200 ⇒-100=a×400 ⇒a=-0.25 m s-2
