Current Question (ID: 8927)

Question:
$\text{A car } A \text{ is traveling on a straight level road at a uniform speed of 60 km/h. It is followed by another car } B \text{ which is moving at a speed of 70 km/h. When the distance between them is 2.5 km, car } B \text{ is given a deceleration of 20 km/h}^2\text{. After how much time will car } B \text{ catch up with car } A\text{?}$
Options:
  • 1. $1 \text{ hr}$
  • 2. $\frac{1}{2} \text{ hr}$
  • 3. $\frac{1}{4} \text{ hr}$
  • 4. $\frac{1}{8} \text{ hr}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: Use the concept of relative motion.}$ $\text{Step 1: Draw the diagram.}$ $\text{Car B is at 70 km/h and car A is at 60 km/h, separated by 2.5 km initially.}$ $\text{Step 2: From the frame of reference of A:}$ $\text{Initial relative velocity of B w.r.t A = 70 - 60 = 10 km/h}$ $\text{Relative acceleration of B w.r.t A = -20 km/h}^2$ $\text{Initial relative distance = 2.5 km}$ $\text{Step 3: Use the equations of motion.}$ $\text{The final velocity of car B w.r.t car A:}$ $v^2 = (10)^2 - 2 \times 20 \times 2.5 = 0$ $\text{The time taken by car B to catch car A:}$ $v = u + at$ $\text{or } 0 = 10 - 20t$ $\text{or } t = \frac{1}{2}h$ $\text{Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.}$
