Question 130: Laws of Motion

Question

A block of mass 10 kg starts sliding on a surface with an initial velocity of 9.8 ms
$$-$$1
. The coefficient of friction between the surface and block is 0.5. The distance covered by the block before coming to rest is :
[use g = 9.8 ms
$$-$$2
]

Accepted Answer

$$S = {{{u^2}} \over {2a}} = {{{u^2}} \over {2(\mu g)}}$$
$$ = {{{{(9.8)}^2}} \over {2 	imes 0.5 	imes (9.8)}}$$
$$ = {{9.8} \over 1}$$
$$ = 9.8$$ m
