JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 2. motion in straight line

For a train engine moving with speed of \(20 \;ms ^{-1}\). the driver must apply brakes at a distance of \(500 \;m\) before the station for the train to come to rest at the station. If the brakes were applied at half of this distance, the train engine would cross the station with speed \(\sqrt{ x }\; ms ^{-1}\). The value of \(x\) is \(..............\) (Assuming same retardation is produced by brakes)

  1. A \(100\)
  2. B \(101\)
  3. C \(520\)
  4. D \(200\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(200\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(u =20\,m / s , S _1=500 m , v =0\) By third equation of mation \(0=(20)^2-2 a .500 \Rightarrow a =\frac{4}{10}\,m / s ^2\) \(u =20\,m / s , S _2=250 m , v =?\) \(v ^2=(20)^2-2 a .250\) \(= v =\sqrt{200}\,m / s\) \(x =200\)
