    A cylinder of mass 10 kg is rolling on a rough plane with a velocity of 10 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the surface and cylinder is 0.5, then before stopping it will cover a distance of (Take g = 10 m/s2):     [BHU PMT-2004]

    A)  10 m                                    

    B)  7.5 m

    C)  5 m                                       

    D)  2.5 m

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Kinetic energy of cylinder is consumed in doing work against friction in rolling motion. A body of mass \[m\] moving with velocity\[v\], Possess kinetic energy given by \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]                         ?..(1) This kinetic energy is utilized in doing work against the frictional forces. \[W=\mu mgs\]                                ?(2) Where \[\mu \] is coefficient of kinetic friction, \[m\] is mass, \[g\] is gravity and \[s\] is displacement. Equating Egs. (1) and (2), we get                 \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\mu mgs\] Where\[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times {{\left( 10 \right)}^{2}}=500\,\,kg-m/s\] Given, \[v=10\,\,m/s,\,\,\mu =0.5,\,m=10\,kg\],                                          \[g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[s=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times m\times {{\left( 10 \right)}^{2}}}{\mu mg}\]                                 \[=\frac{50}{0.5\times 10}=10\,m.\]
