1. A vehicle of mass m is moving on a rough horizontal road with momentum P. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road be \[\mu \], then the stopping distance is
a) \[\frac{P}{2\mu mg}\]
b) \[\frac{P^{2}}{2\mu mg}\]

2. A body of weight 64 N is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction
are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively, the acceleration of the body will be (Acceleration due to gravity = g)
a) \[\frac{g}{6.4}\]
b) 0.64 g
c) \[\frac{g}{32}\]
d) 0.2 g
Explanation: Weight of the body = 64N
so mass of the body m = 6.4 kg , \[\mu\] s = 0.6 , \[\mu\] k = 0.4

a) Static friction
b) Dynamic friction

done is
a) 294 joules
b) 315 joules
c) 588 joules
d) 197 joules
Explanation:
9. A car having a mass of 1000 kg is moving at a speed of 30 metres/sec. Brakes are applied to bring the car to rest. If the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface is 5000 newtons, the car will come to rest in
a) 5 seconds
b) 10 seconds
c) 12 seconds
d) 6 seconds
Explanation:
10. If \[\mu_{s},\mu_{k}\] and \[\mu_{r}\] are coefficients of static friction, sliding
