A conveyor belt is moving at a constant speed of $2\, m s^{-1}$. A box is gently dropped on it. The coefficient of friction between them is $\mu = 0.5.$ The distance that the box will move relative to belt before coming to rest on it, taking $g = 10\, m s^{-2},$ is ........... $m$
$0.4 $
$1.2 $
$0.6$
$0$
A block slides down on incline of angle $30^o$ with an acceleration $\frac{g}{4}$. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction
Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $(I)$ : The limiting force of static friction depends on the area of contact and independent of materials.
$Statement$ $(II)$ : The limiting force of kinetic friction is independent of the area of contact and depends on materials.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A heavy box is solid across a rough floor with an initial speed of $4 \,m / s$. It stops moving after $8$ seconds. If the average resisting force of friction is $10 \,N$, the mass of the box (in $kg$ ) is .....
$STATEMENT-1$ It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground. and
$STATEMENT-2$ The magnitude of frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact.
A block $B$ is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity $V.$ If $\mu $ is the coefficient of sliding friction between $B$ and the surface, block $B$ will come to rest after a time
