$A$ body of weight $64 \,N$ is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction are $0.6$ and $0.4$ respectively, the acceleration of the body is (Acceleration due to gravity $= g$)

$A$ block of mass $0.5 \ kg$ is at rest on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the block is $0.2$. If a horizontal force of $5 \ N$ is applied on the block, the kinetic energy of the block in a time of $4 \ s$ is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$). (in $J$)

$A$ body of mass $40\,kg$ resting on a rough horizontal surface is subjected to a force $P$ which is just enough to start the motion of the body. If $\mu_{s} = 0.5$,$\mu_{k} = 0.4$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$,and the force $P$ is continuously applied on the body,then the acceleration of the body is $.........\,m/s^2$.
