A body of mass 10 kg is moving with an initial speed of 20 m s-1. The body stops after 5 s due to friction between body and the floor. The value of the coefficient of friction is: (Take acceleration due to gravity g=10 m s-2)
  1. 0.2
  2. 0.3
  3. 0.5
  4. 0.4

Solution

Friction force wil act opposite to the motion of the body.

F=μN=μmg

a=-μg-ve sign for direction relative to the motion of body

Now, applying equation of motion, we get

v=u+at

0=20+-μ×10×5

50μ=20

 μ=0.4
