Two cars \(A\) and \(B\) are travelling in the same direction with velocities \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) \((v_1>v_2).\) When the car \(A\) is at a distance \(d\) behind the car \(B,\) the driver of the car \(A\) applied the brake producing uniform retardation \(a.\) There will be no collision when:
1. \(d < \frac{\left( v_{1} - v_{2} \right)^{2}}{2 a}\)
2. \(d < \frac{v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2}}{2 a}\)
3. \(d > \frac{\left(v_{1} - v_{2}\right)^{2}}{2 a}\)
4. \(d > \frac{v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2}}{2 a}\)

Two trains travelling on the same track are approaching each other with equal speeds of 40 m/s. The drivers of the trains begin to decelerate simultaneously when they are just 2.0 km apart. Assuming the decelerations to be uniform and equal, the value of the deceleration to barely avoid collision should be

2. 11.0 m/s2
3. 1.6 m/s2
4. 0.8 m/s2

2. 8 ms–1
3. 10 ms–1
4. 12 ms–1
