Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(32\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v^2-u^2=2 a S \)

\( \left(\frac{2 u}{3}\right)^2=u^2+2(-a)\left(4 \times 10^{-2}\right) \)

\( \frac{4 u^2}{9}=u^2-2 a\left(4 \times 10^{-2}\right) \)

\( -\frac{5 u^2}{9}=-2 a\left(4 \times 10^{-2}\right) \ldots(1) \)

\( 0=\left(\frac{2 u}{3}\right)^2+2(-a)(x) \)

\( -\frac{4 u^2}{9}=-2 a x \ldots(2) \)

\( (1) /(2) \)

\( \frac{5}{4}=\frac{4 \times 10^{-2}}{x} \)

\( x=\frac{16}{5} \times 10^{-2} \)

\( x=3 \cdot 2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} \)

\( x=32 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\)
