A block is projected along a rough horizontal road at a speed of 10 m/s10 \text{ m/s}. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.100.10, how far does the block travel before coming to a stop?

Options

  1. A50 m50 \text{ m}
  2. B51 m51 \text{ m}
  3. C100 m100 \text{ m}
  4. D25 m25 \text{ m}

Correct answer

B. 51 m51 \text{ m}

Step-by-step solution

The initial velocity of the block is u=10 m/su = 10 \text{ m/s}.

The final velocity of the block is v=0 m/sv = 0 \text{ m/s}.

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.10\mu_k = 0.10.

Taking the acceleration due to gravity as g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2, the deceleration of the block due to friction is:

a=μkg=0.10×9.8=0.98 m/s2a = \mu_k g = 0.10 \times 9.8 = 0.98 \text{ m/s}^2

Using the third equation of motion, v2=u2−2asv^2 = u^2 - 2as:

0=(10)2−2(0.98)s0 = (10)^2 - 2(0.98)s

1.96s=1001.96s = 100

s=1001.96=51.02 ms = \dfrac{100}{1.96} = 51.02 \text{ m}

Rounding to the nearest integer, the distance traveled before coming to a stop is 51 m51 \text{ m}.
