$A$ body of $10\, kg$ is acted upon by a force of $129.4\, N$. If $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$ and the acceleration of the block is $10\, m/s^2$,what is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

Why are rubber tires preferred over steel tires for vehicle wheels?

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?

$A$ 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 ....... $N$.

$A$ block of mass $5\,kg$ is placed at rest on a table with a rough surface. If a force of $30\,N$ is applied parallel to the surface of the table,the block slides through a distance of $50\,m$ in $10\,s$. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction. (Given: $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ man slides down a telegraphic pole with an acceleration equal to one-fourth of the acceleration due to gravity. The frictional force between the man and the pole is equal to which of the following in terms of the man's weight $w$?
