When the engine is switched off, a vehicle of mass $M$ is moving on a rough horizontal road with momentum $p$. If the coefficient of friction between the road and the tyres of the vehicle is $\mu_k$, what is the distance travelled by the vehicle before it comes to rest?

  • A
    $\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k M^2 g}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \mu_k M^2 g}{p^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k g}$
  • D
    $\frac{p^2 M^2}{2 \mu_k g}$

$A$ block of mass $4\,kg$ is placed on a rough horizontal plane. $A$ time-dependent force $F = kt^2$ acts on the block,where $k = 2\,N/s^2$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.8$. The force of friction between the block and the plane at $t = 2\,s$ is ....... $N$.

$A$ horizontal force of $4\,N$ is needed to keep a block of mass $0.5\,kg$ sliding on a horizontal surface with a constant speed. The coefficient of sliding friction must be: $[g = 10\,m/s^2]$

$A$ body of weight $64 \,N$ is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction are $0.6$ and $0.4$ respectively, the acceleration of the body is (Acceleration due to gravity $= g$)
