JEE Main & Advanced Physics NLM, Friction, Circular Motion Question Bank Kinetic Friction

  • question_answer
    A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed \[{{v}_{0}}\]. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is \[\mu \], the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is      [MP PET 1985; BHU 2002]                      

    A)                              \[\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2\mu g}\]                     

    B)                           \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\mu g}\]            

    C)                         \[{{\left( \frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\mu g} \right)}^{2}}\]           

    D)                           \[\frac{{{v}_{0}}}{\mu }\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                                Retarding force \[F=ma=\mu \,R=\mu \ mg\] \[\therefore \] \[a=\mu g\]             Now from equation of motion  \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2as\]             \[\Rightarrow \ 0={{u}^{2}}-2as\] Þ \[s=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2a}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2\mu \ g}\] \[\therefore \] \[=\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2\mu \,g}\]
