A particle of mass ' \(m\) ' at rest on a rough horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction ' \(\mu\) ' is given a velocity ' \(u\) '. The average power impaired by friction before it stops

  1. A Zero
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} \mu m g u\)
  3. C \(\mu m g u\)
  4. D \(2 \mu m g u\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2} \mu m g u\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acceleration of block, \(\begin{aligned} & a=\frac{-f_r}{m}=\frac{-\mu m g}{m} \\ & \therefore \quad a=-\mu m \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Time to stop, \(\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{u}}{-\mathrm{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mu \mathrm{g}}\) By work - energy theorem,…
