When the engine is switched off, a vehicle of mass $M$ is moving on a rough horizontal road with momentum $p$. If the coefficient of friction between the road and the tyres of the vehicle is $\mu_k$, what is the distance travelled by the vehicle before it comes to rest?

$A$ block of mass $m$ (initially at rest) is sliding up a rough vertical wall with the help of a force $F$ whose magnitude is constant but direction is changing. $\theta = {\theta _0}t$,where $t$ is time in seconds. At $t = 0$,the force is in the vertical upward direction,and as time passes,its direction changes until $\theta = \frac{\pi }{2}$. The value of $F$ such that the block comes to rest when $\theta = \frac{\pi }{2}$ is:

$A$ horizontal force of $40\,N$ is applied to a $5\,kg$ block which is at rest on a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.4$,then the acceleration of the block is ........ $m/s^2$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

$A$ $1\,kg$ block is being pushed against a wall by a force $F = 75\,N$ as shown in the Figure. The coefficient of friction is $0.25.$ The magnitude of acceleration of the block is ........ $m/s^2$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
