Consider that a truck is moving initially with \(54 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\). It has stopped by the driver after looking at an obstacle with a deceleration of \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\). The distance travelled by truck before coming to rest is

  1. A \(12 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(11.25 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(11.30 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(11.20 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(11.25 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, initial velocity of truck, \(u=54 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) \(=54 \times \frac{5}{18}=15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) Final velocity, \(v=0\) Deceleration, \(a=-10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) As we know that, \(v^2=u^2+2 a s\)…
