Laws of Motion 3 Question 15
16. A block of mass $1 kg$ lies on a horizontal surface in a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.6 . If the acceleration of the truck is $5 m / s^{2}$, the frictional force acting on the block is
N. $(1984,2 M)$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 16. (5)
Solution:
- The block will move due to friction.
The frictional force $(f)$ is therefore
$$ f=m a=(1)(5)=5 N $$
