JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

A body of mass \(10\,kg\) is moving with an initial speed of \(20\,m / s\). 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 \(g =10\; ms ^{-2}\))

  1. A \(0.2\)
  2. B \(0.3\)
  3. C \(0.5\)
  4. D \(0.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a=-\mu g\) \(\because v=u+a t\) \(0=20+(-\mu \times 10) \times 5\) \(50 \mu=20\) \(\mu=\frac{2}{5}=0.4\)
