Q 1 :
Two cars are travelling towards each other at a speed of 20 ${ms}^{- 1}$ each. When the cars are 300 m apart, both the drivers apply brakes and the cars retard at the rate of 2 ${ms}^{- 2}$ . The distance between them when they come to rest is: [2024]

50 m

$| {\vec{u}}_{B A} |$ $= 40 m/s$

$| {\vec{a}}_{B A} |$ $= 4 {m/s}^{2}$

Applying, $(v^{2} = u^{2} + 2 a s)_{relative}$

$0 = {(40)}^{2} + 2 (- 4) (s) \Rightarrow s = 200 m$

Remaining distance $= 300 - 200 = 100 m$

So, when both cars will stop then the distance between them, will be

$d = 300 - 200 = 100 m$

Q 2 :
Train A is moving along two parallel rail tracks towards north with speed 72 km/h, and train B is moving towards south with speed 108 km/h.

Velocity of train B with respect to A and velocity of ground with respect to B are (in ${ms}^{- 1}$ ) [2024]

−50 and −30

$= 72 \times \frac{5}{18} = 20 m/s = 108 \times \frac{5}{18} = 30 m/s$

Velocity of train B with respect to train A

$V_{B A} = V_{B} - V_{A} = 30 - (- 20) = 50 m/s$

$[Taking South = +ve, North = -ve]$

Ground is at rest, so

$V_{G B} = V_{G} - V_{B}$

$= 0 - (30) = - 30 m/s$

Q 3 :
Two cars P and Q are moving on a road in the same direction. Acceleration of car P increases linearly with time whereas car Q moves with a constant acceleration. Both cars cross each other at time t = 0, for the first time. The maximum possible number of crossing(s) (including the crossing at t = 0) is __________. [2025]

For first car P $\to$ acceleration ( $a_{P}$ ) = ct, c is constant

For second car Q $\to$ acceleration ( $a_{Q}$ ) = a, a is constant

Let us analyse the problem in two cases

Case I:

$\Rightarrow$ $u_{Q P}$ and $a_{Q P}$ in same direction

They cross 2 times in this case

Case-II:

$a_{Q P}$ and $u_{Q P}$ in opposite direction

They cross 3 times in this case.
