Ablock slides on a horizontal surface with an initial speed of 10 m/s. if the block takes 2s to come to a stop, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface? (the answer does not depend on the mass of the block.) (a) 0.1 (b) 0.2 (c) 0.4 (d) 0.5

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.5

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the block, u = 10 m/s

Time taken by the block to come to rest, t = 2 s

So, final velocity, v = 0

We need to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface. According to second law of motion :

F = ma

And friction force F = -μmg

i.e.

...........(1)

Firstly, we will find the value of a i.e. acceleration

a = -5 m/s²

So, equation (1) becomes :

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.5. hence, this is the required solution.

answer: i pick a

explanation:

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
