Question 2

A body of mass m = 10–2 kg is moving in a medium and experiences a frictional force F = –kv2. Its initial speed is v0 = 10 ms–1. If, after 10 s, its energy is 1/8 mv02,the value of k will be

  • 10-4 kg m-1

  • 10–1 kg m–1 s–1

  • 10-3 kg m-1

  • 10-3 kg s-1

Solution

A.

10-4 kg m-1
