Solution

The correct option is C

n2a


From the third equation of motion, v2=u22as
0=u22as
s=u22a
So, the distance over which the car is stopped is given by s=u22a.
If initial velocity is nu, let the value deceleration to stop the car in the same distance be a.
02=(nu)22as0=n2u22a(u22a)a=n2a
Hence, the correct choice is (c).
