A car , moving with a speed of `50 km//hr` , can be stopped by brakes after at least ` 6m `. If the same car is moving at a speed of `100 km//hr`, the minimum stopping distance isA. `12 m `B. `18 m`C. `24 m`D. ` 6 m`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Case - 1 : ` u = 50 xx (5)/(18) m//s`, `v = 0 , s = 6m , a = a`
`v^(2) - u^(2) = 2as rArr 0^(2) -(50 xx (5)/(18))^(2) = 2 xx a xx 6`
`rArr -(50 xx (5)/(18))^(2)` = 2 xx axx 6` …(i)
Case - 2: `u = 100xx5/18 m//sec, v = 0 , s = s, a =a `
`:. v^(2) -u^(2) = 2as `
`rArr 0^(2)-(100xx5/18)^(2) = 2as `
`rArr -(100xx5//18)^(2) = 2 as` ...(ii)
Dividing (i) and (ii) we get
` (100xx100)/(50xx50) = (2xxaxxs)/(2xxaxx6) rArr s = 24 m `
