Laws Of Motion Question 124

Question: A block of mass M=5kg is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is 0.2. When a force F=40N is applied, the acceleration of the block will be (g=10m/s2) [MP PMT 2004]

Options:

A) 5.73m/sec2

B) 8.0m/sec2

C)3.17m/sec2

D) 10.0m/sec2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Kinetic friction =μkR

=0.2(mgFsin30)

=0.2(5×1040×12)

=0.2(5020)=6 N

Acceleration of the block =Fcos30Kinetic friction,

=40×3265=5.73 m/s2
