Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Given: initial speed of first car

(u) = 52 km / h

= 52 \times \frac{5}{18}

= 14.44 m / s,

final speed of the first car

(v) = 0, time taken (t) = 5 s

,
initial speed of second car

(U) = 3 km / h

= 3 \times \frac{5}{18}

= 0.83 m / s

,
final speed of the second car

(V) = 0, time taken (T) = 10 s

Distance travelled by the first car

=

Area under curve PQ

= \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 14.44

= 36.1 m

Distance travelled by the second car

=

Area under curve RS

= \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 0.83

= 4.15 m

Therefore, the first car travelled more distance than the second car.
