4-2.Friction
medium

A body is moving along a rough horizontal surface with an initial velocity $6\,\,m/s.$ If the body comes to rest after travelling $9\, m$, then the coefficient of sliding friction will be

A

$0.4$

B

$0.2$

C

$0.6$

D

$0.8$

Solution

(b) We know $s = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2\mu \;g}}$

$\therefore \mu = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2gs}} = \frac{{{{(6)}^2}}}{{2 \times 10 \times 9}} = 0.2$
