A force of \(20 \mathrm{~N}\) is applied on a body of mass \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\) resting on a horizontal plane. The body gains a kinetic energy of \(10 \mathrm{~J}\) after it moves a distance \(2 \mathrm{~m}\). The frictional force is

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(15 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(20 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(30 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(15 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, force \(F=20 \mathrm{~N}\) \[ m=5 \mathrm{~kg} \] Net force on the body, \[ F_{\text {net }}=F-f_{s} \quad \text { [where, } \int_{s}=\text { friction] } \] \(\therefore\) Work done by displacing \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) is given as…
