The correct answer is:
$45 \mathrm{~m}$
\(\mathrm{u}=15 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}=\frac{15 \times 1000}{60 \times 60}=\frac{150}{36} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(\mathrm{v}^{2}=\mathrm{u}^{2}-2 \mathrm{as}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{a} \frac{u^{2}}{2 \mathrm{~s}}=\frac{150 \times 150}{36 \times 36 \times 2 \times 5} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
Next \(\mathrm{s}=\frac{u^{2}}{2 a}=\frac{45000}{60 \times 60} \times \frac{45000}{60 \times 60} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{36 \times 36}{150 \times 15}\)
\(=45 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(\mathrm{v}^{2}=\mathrm{u}^{2}-2 \mathrm{as}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{a} \frac{u^{2}}{2 \mathrm{~s}}=\frac{150 \times 150}{36 \times 36 \times 2 \times 5} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
Next \(\mathrm{s}=\frac{u^{2}}{2 a}=\frac{45000}{60 \times 60} \times \frac{45000}{60 \times 60} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{36 \times 36}{150 \times 15}\)
\(=45 \mathrm{~m}\)
