$A$ bus moving along a straight highway with a speed of $72 \,km/h$ is brought to a halt within $4 \,s$ after applying the brakes. The distance travelled by the bus during this time (assume the retardation is uniform) is . . . . . . $m$.

Stopping distance of vehicles: When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle,the distance it travels before stopping is called stopping distance. It is an important factor for road safety and depends on the initial velocity $(v_0)$ and the braking capacity,or deceleration,$-a$ that is caused by the braking. Derive an expression for stopping distance of a vehicle in terms of $v_0$ and $a$.

$A$ driver applies the brakes on seeing the red traffic signal $400 \ m$ ahead. At the time of applying brakes,the vehicle was moving with $15 \ m/s$ and retarding at $0.3 \ m/s^2$. The distance of the vehicle from the traffic light one minute after the application of brakes is: (in $m$)

$A$ particle starting from rest and moving with constant acceleration travels a distance $x$ in the first $2$ seconds and a distance $y$ in the next $2$ seconds. Then:

The initial velocity of a body moving along a straight line is $7 \, m/s$. It has a uniform acceleration of $4 \, m/s^2$. The distance covered by the body in the $5^{th}$ second of its motion is .......... $m$.
