Consider a frictionless ramp on which a smooth object is made to slide down from an initial height \(h\). The distance \(d\) necessary to stop the object on a flat track (of coefficient of friction \(\mu\) ), kept at the ramp end is

  1. A \(h / \mu\)
  2. B \(\mu\) is
  3. C \(\mu^2 h\)
  4. D \(r^2 \mu\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(h / \mu\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the conservation of energy, \[ \begin{aligned} m g h & =\mu m g d \\ d & =\frac{h}{\mu} \end{aligned} \]
