Q116 / 150 · MHT CET 2020 (20 Oct Shift 2) · Physics
A body is moving along the horizontal surface with a velocity of $4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.2$, the distance travelled by body before coming to rest is $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$
- A$8 \mathrm{~m}$
- B$16 \mathrm{~m}$
- Correct answerC$4 \mathrm{~m}$
- D$6 \mathrm{~m}$
Solution
$f=\mu \mathrm{mg}$.
$\therefore a=-f / m=-\frac{\mu m g}{m}=-\mu g=-(0.2) 10=-2$
$v^{2}=u^{2}+2 a s$
$s=4$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
