Explain how the police car should hit the car-in-escape in order to stop it from moving forward. Give explanation based on vehicle dynamics.

Solution

Answer : let us consider the car in escape velocity is \" u \" ,

the police car which is chasing be \" V \"

Now taking all the consideration the escape vehicle tries to take up the escape by not only linear direction but also a curvilinear path nor the distributed direction in all the way ,

So, in order to stop the moving vehicle primarily it\'s moment of inertia should be zero so that there won\'t be chance of moment of the vehicle in any of direction !!

Firstly attacking the vehicle the police shud hit the car in the linear direction so that it\'s maximum escape velocity could be traced in order, when the vehicle is gifted at the centre of mass , the mass moment of inertia and the dynamic moment of inertia tries to act on the opposite direction of attacked,

So when the car is hitted along its end corners the moment of inertia is converted to the turning moment so that the car starts turning about that axis at that point when the police man hits at the centre of mass of the vehicle then the moment of inertia of the car becomes zero and can try to catch him.
