To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.
In this way,
The total mass of the cars would be,
Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,
In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,
Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is
From laws of motion:
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s
Substitute the values, hence:
But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.
Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m
