A batsman takes the first run by moving from \(A\) to \(B\) and then goes for the second run. When he reaches \(20~\text{yards}\) from \(B\) to \(D\) (see figure), he was run out. The net displacement of the batsman is:
1. \(2\) yards 2. \(20\) yards
3. \(22\) yards 4. \(42\) yards

An automobile moving at a speed of \(40~\text{km/hr} \) can be brought to rest by applying brakes over a distance of \(40 ~\text{m}.\) If the automobile were instead moving at \(80~\text{km/h},\) what would be its minimum stopping distance (assuming the braking force remains the same and no skidding occurs)?
1. \(150~\text{m}\)
2. \(100~\text{m}\)
3. \(75~\text{m}\)
4. \(160~\text{m}\)
