Which one of the following is not used to reduce friction
Oil
Ball bearings
Sand
Graphite
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 ........ $m/s^2$
Someone is using a scissors to cut a wire of circular cross section and negligible weight. The wire slides in the direction away from the hinge until the angle between the scissors blades becomes $2 \alpha$. The friction coefficient between the blades and the wire, is :-
A conveyor belt is moving at a constant speed of $2\, ms^{-1}$. 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 $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$) is ........ $m$.
A $\vec F\,\, = \,\,\hat i\, + \,4\hat j\,$ acts on block shown. The force of friction acting on the block is :
Write unit of coefficient of static friction.
