A truck and a car are moving with equal velocity. On applying the brakes both will stop after certain distance, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Stopping distance \(= \text{Kinetic energy} \\ \text{Regarding force} \\ = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \\ f\)
If retarding force ( F ) and velocity ( v ) are equal then stopping distance µ µ m (mass of vehicle)
As m_{H_2} < m_{Ca} < therefore car will cover less distance before coming to rest.
