Q. A driver of a car travelling at 52km h1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5s. Another driver going at 3km h1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
