A car moving on a straight road with a speed 20 m/s. At t=0 the driver of the car applies the brakes after watching an obstacle 150 m. ahead. After the application of brakes the car retards with 2m/s2. Find the position of the car from the obstacle at t=15s.

The car comes to rest after time given by 0=20-2tt=10s

Distance travelled in these 10s=v2/2a=(20)2/2(2)=100m.

Thus,it is at rest at a distance 50m behind obstacle at t=10s and will be there till t=15s.

well id ont understand how is it 50m

u = 20
t=15
a=-2
so
s= ut + 1/2 at^2
= 20 *15 + 1/2 (-2) * 15*15
= 20 *15 - 15*15
= 15 ( 20-15)
= 15 * 5
= 75 m

so it is 75 m before the obstacle
correct me if i'm wrong

4m v=u+at
0=20-2t
t=10sec
S=ut+1/2at*2
so S=100mts
it travelld 100 mts so car is at 50 mts frm d obstacle

it travels 100m in the 1st 10s and comes 2 rest. but it still has the retardation of 2.hence it travels back 25 metres in the next 5sec.
100-25 is 75.
if wrong plz correct me

look after 10 sec car is at rest and will remain there till 15 sec so ans is 75 m . u are saying car has retardation so it will travel back ,

but normally in kinematics Q we don't consider such cases..

in all problems we assume that after coming to rest body will not be affected by any retardation . otherwise the ans of each Q of each book will change.
