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
    $\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k M^2 g}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \mu_k M^2 g}{p^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{p^2}{2 \mu_k g}$
  • D
    $\frac{p^2 M^2}{2 \mu_k g}$
