A block of mass 2 kg , moving with the initial speed of comes to rest on a rough horizontal surface after travelling a distance of 3 m. The magnitude of the frictional force is:
Options
- A9 N
- B3 N
- C18 N
- D1 N
Correct answer
B. 3 N
Step-by-step solution
Given, Using, as
$\begin{array}{lrl}
\Rightarrow & 0-9 & =2 \times a \times s \\
\Rightarrow & -9 & =6 a, a=-1.5 \mathrm{ m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\
\text{ Now, } & \mathrm{F} & =m a=2(-1.5)=-3 \mathrm{ N}
\end{array}
Negative sign indicates it is retarding force, hence magnitude of friction is 3 N .$
