Two cars P and Q are travelling on a straight path and are 60 m apart as shown in the figure; Car P is moving with a constant velocity of 36 kmph, while car Q is moving at a constant velocity of 18 kmph. At this instant, the driver in car P applies the brake and collision occurs with car Q after 30 seconds. Assuming uniform deceleration due to braking, which one of the following is the CORRECT velocity (in m/s) of the car P just before the collision?
- A. 1
- B. 16
- C. 5
- D. 4
Answer: D. 4
