The kinetic energies of two similar cars $A$ and $B$ are $100 \ J$ and $225 \ J$ respectively. On applying brakes,car $A$ stops after $1000 \ m$ and car $B$ stops after $1500 \ m$. If $F_{A}$ and $F_{B}$ are the forces applied by the brakes on cars $A$ and $B$,respectively,then the ratio $F_{A} / F_{B}$ is:

  • A
    $3/2$
  • B
    $2/3$
  • C
    $1/3$
  • D
    $1/2$
