An unloaded bus can be stopped by applying brakes on straight road after covering a distance $x$ . Suppose the passengers add $50 %$ of its weight as the load and the braking force remains unchanged, how far will the bus go after the application of the brakes? (Velocity of bus in both case is same)

Solution

The correct option is B $1.5 x$
Let $m$ be mass of the bus,
$v$ be velocity of bus before application of brake.
$F$ be resistive braking force
From work energy theorem
$W = Δ K E$
$F . x = 0 - \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$
Now due to passengers, weight of bus in increased $50 %$
Let $x^{'}$ be the new stopping distance
$F . x^{'} = \frac{1}{2} (m + \frac{50 m}{100}) v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (1.5 m) v^{2} \Rightarrow x^{1} = 1.5 x$

by boarding the passengers. Now, if the bus is moving with the same speed and if the same retarding force is applied, the distance travelled by the bus before it stops is:

An unloaded bus and a loaded bus are both moving with the same kinetic energy. The mass of the latter is twice that of the former. Brakes are applied to both, so as to exert equal retarding force. If $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ be the distance covered by the two buses respectively before coming to a stop, then
