On a foggy day,two drivers spot each other when $80\, m$ apart. They were travelling at $70\, km/h$ and $60\, km/h$. Both apply brakes simultaneously which retard the cars at the rate of $5\, m/s^2$. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The collision will be averted
  • B
    The collision will take place
  • C
    They will cross each other
  • D

Two trains $A$ and $B$,initially $120\, km$ apart,start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start,train $A$ blows a whistle,which reflects off train $B$ and subsequently reflects off train $A$,and so on. If the velocity of sound waves in air is $1200\, km/hr$,what is the total distance travelled by the sound waves before the trains crash (in $km$)?

$A$ student is standing at a distance of $50 \, m$ from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of $1 \, m/s^2$,the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity $u$. Assuming the motion to be along a straight road,the minimum value of $u$,so that the student is able to catch the bus is.........$m/s$.
