$A$ block of mass $M$ is moving on a rough horizontal surface with momentum $P$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu$. The distance covered by the block before it stops is $[g = \text{acceleration due to gravity}]$.

  • A
    $\frac{2 \mu Mg}{P}$
  • B
    $\frac{P}{2 \mu Mg}$
  • C
    $\frac{P^{2}}{2 \mu M^{2} g}$

Consider a car moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed of $72 \, km/h$. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tyres and the road is $0.5$,the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is ........ $m$. $[g = 10 \, m/s^2]$

$A$ block of mass $m=2 \ kg$ is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F_1=(6 \ N) \hat{i}$ and a vertical force $F_2=(10 \ N) \hat{j}$ are then applied to the block. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction for the block and the surface are $0.4$ and $0.25$, respectively. The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is (assume $g=10 \ m/s^2$): (in $N$)
