$A$ car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed $v_0$. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $\mu$,the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is

  • A
    $\frac{v_0^2}{2\mu g}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_0}{\mu g}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{v_0}{\mu g} \right)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{v_0}{\mu}$

"When a man walks on a rough surface,the frictional force acts in the direction opposite to his motion." Is this statement correct? Give reasons.

What is the maximum force $F$ (in $N$) that can be applied such that the block does not move? (Given $\mu = 1/(2\sqrt{3})$ and $m = \sqrt{3} \ kg$)

$A$ 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?

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