CBSEENPH11026176

A block B is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity v. If µ is the coefficient of sliding friction between B and the surface, block B will come to rest after a time

  • ν

  • ν

  • gν

  • νg

Solution

A.

ν

Block B will come to rest, if force applied to it will vanish due to frictional force acting between block B and surface, ie,
  force applied  =  frictional force

   μmg = mα

where μ - constant of proportionality 

 μmg =  μmg = m νt      t   = νμg
