Question

Two cars 1 and 2 start moving with speeds $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ $m / s$ such that $V_{1} > V_{2}$ . Car 2 is ahead of car 1 by $s$ meters when the driver of the car 1 sees car 2. What minimum retardation should be given to car 1 to avoid collision?

Solution

The correct option is D $\frac{(V_{1} - V_{2})^{2}}{2 s}$
Car 1 is moving with relative velocity $V_{1} - V_{2}$ w.r.t Car 2
So, using $v^{2} = u^{2} + 2 a s \to$ distance
$v =$ final relative velocity
$u =$ initial relative velocity
$0 = (V_{1} - V_{2})^{2} + 2 (- a) s$
$a = \frac{(V_{1} - V_{2})^{2}}{2 s}$

Two cars 1 and 2 move with velocities $v_{1} a n d v_{2}$ respectively on a straight road in the same direction. When the cars are separated by a distance d, the driver of the car 1 applies brakes and the car moves with uniform retardation $a_{1}$ . Simultaneously, the car 2 starts accelerating with $a_{2}$ . If $v_{1} > v_{2}$ , find the minimum initial separation between the cars to avoid collision between them.
