4-2.Friction
medium

A block of mass $5\, kg$ is on a rough horizontal surface and is at rest. Now a force of $24\, N $is imparted to it with negligible impulse. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.4$ and $g = 9.8\,m/{s^2}$, then the acceleration of the block is ........ $m/s^2$

A$0.26$
B$0.39$
C$0.69$
D$0.88$

Solution

(d) Net force = Applied force -Friction force 
$ma = 24 – \mu \;mg$
$ = 24 – 0.4 \times 5 \times 9.8$ $ = 24 – 19.6$
$⇒$  $a = \frac{{4.4}}{5} = 0.88\;m/{s^2}$
