Question

An express train is moving with a velocity $v_{1}$ . Its driver finds that another train is moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity $v_{2} (v_{1} > v_{2})$ . To escape collision, driver applies break to produce retardation $‘ a^{'}$ on the train. The minimum time to avoid collision will be

t = \frac{v_{1} - v_{2}}{a}

Solution

The correct option is C $t = \frac{2 (v_{1} - v_{2})}{a}$

Assuming the frame of reference at 2, we can say:
Relative velocity of 1 with respect to 2: $v_{12} = v_{1} - v_{2}$

We know,
$d = u t - \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
At limiting condition, $d = 0$
$0 = (v_{1} - v_{2}) t - \frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
$\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} = (v_{1} - v_{2}) t$

$t = \frac{2 (v_{1} - v_{2})}{a}$

The correct option is C t=2(v1−v2)a Assuming the frame of reference at 2, we can say: Relative velocity of 1 with respect to 2: v12=v1−v2 We know, d=ut−12at2 At limiting condition, d=0 0=(v1−v2)t−12at2 12at2=(v1−v2)t t=2(v1−v2)a
