Kinematics Question 319

Question: An express train is moving with a velocity v1. it’s driver finds another train is moving on the same track in the same direction with velocity v2. To escape coll it’sion, driver applies a retardation a on the train. the minimum time of escaping coll it’sion will be [RPET 2002]

Options:

A) t=v1v2a

B) t1=v12v222

C) None

D) Both

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

As the trains are moving in the same direction. So the initial relative speed (v1v2) and by applying retardation final relative speed becomes zero. From v=uat

therefore 0=(v1v2)at

therefore t=v1v2a
