4-2.Friction
medium

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 $g =10\; ms ^{-2}$)

A

$0.2$

B

$0.3$

C

$0.5$

D

$0.4$

Solution

$a=-\mu g$

$\because v=u+a t$

$0=20+(-\mu \times 10) \times 5$

$50 \mu=20$

$\mu=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$
