Question
A car starts from rest, moves with an acceleration a and then decelerates at a constant rate b for sometimes to come to rest. If the total time taken is t. The maximum velocity of car is given by :
Solution
A.
Let car accelerates for time t1 and decelerates for time t2 then
t1 + t2 = t
From ν = u + at
v = u + at1
at1 = bt2
