When the engine is switched off a vehicle of mass \(M\) is moving on a rough horizontal road with momentum \(p\). If the coefficient of friction between the road and tyres of the vehicle is \(\mu_k\), the distance travelled by the vehicle before it comes to rest is

  1. A \(\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k M^2 g}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \mu_k M^2 g}{p^2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k g}\)
  4. D \(\frac{p^2 M^2}{2 \mu_k g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k M^2 g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\mu_k m g s=\frac{p^2}{2 M}\) or \(s=\frac{p^2}{2 M^2 \mu_k g}\)
