$A$ car having a mass of $1000\, kg$ is moving at a speed of $30\, m/s$. Brakes are applied to bring the car to rest. If the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface is $5000\, N$,the car will come to rest in ........ $s$.

$A$ block of mass $m=2 \ kg$ is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F_1=(6 \ N) \hat{i}$ and a vertical force $F_2=(10 \ N) \hat{j}$ are then applied to the block. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction for the block and the surface are $0.4$ and $0.25$,respectively. The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is (assume $g=10 \ m/s^2$): (in $N$)
