A driver can stop his car from the red signal at a distance 20m when 36km/hr and 41.25 m when speed is 54km/hr then the reaction time is ?

I think so the answer is 1.5 sec. Because reaction time here is the difference in the time taken to stop the vehicle. Case 1: u is 10m/s since v=0 u=at=10 applying this in 3rd equation of motion v^2-u^2=2as and substituting for a as t/10 we get t as 4 sec when the same is done for 2nd case we get t as 5.5 sec The absolute difference of both is 1.5sec

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
