$A$ body of mass $m$ moves with a velocity $v$ on a surface whose friction coefficient is $\mu$. If the body covers a distance $s$ before coming to rest,what is the initial velocity $v$?

  • A
    $\sqrt{\mu g s}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\mu g s / 2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2 \mu g s}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3 \mu g s}$

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides along a floor while a force of magnitude $F$ is applied to it at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_{K}$. Then,the block's acceleration $a$ is given by: ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)

Consider a car moving on a straight road with a speed of $100\, m/s$. The distance at which the car can be stopped is ........ $m$. $[\mu_k = 0.5, g = 10\, m/s^2]$

$A$ small body slips,subject to the force of friction,from point $A$ to point $B$ along two curved surfaces of equal radius,first along route $1$,then along route $2$. Friction does not depend on the speed and the coefficient of friction on both routes is the same. In which case will the body's speed at $B$ be greater?

The coefficients of static and kinetic friction for a block on a rough surface are $0.6$ and $0.4$ respectively. The minimum force required to set the block in motion is $64 \, N$. If this force continues to be applied after the block starts moving,what will be the acceleration of the block?
