    A cylinder of \[10\,\,kg\] is rolling in a plane with an initial velocity of\[10\,\,m/s\]. If the coefficient of friction between the surface and cylinder is \[0.5\,\,kg\] then before slipping, it will cover:\[(g=10m/{{s}^{2}})\]

    A) \[2.5\,\,m\]                       

    B) \[5\,\,m\]

    C) \[7.5\,\,m\]                       

    D) \[10\,\,m\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here: Mass of the cylinder \[m=10\,\,kg\] Initial velocity of cylinder\[v=10m/s\] Coefficient of friction between surface and the cylinder\[\mu =0.5\] The kinetic energy of the cylinder is                 \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times {{10}^{2}}\]                 \[=500\,\,kg\,\,m/\sec \]                             ... (1) The work done by the cylinder in rolling over the plane is                 = Force of friction \[\times \] distance                 \[=\mu mg\times s\]                 \[=0.5\times 10\times 10\times s\]                 \[=50s\]                                                               ... (2) As the kinetic energy of the cylinder will be consumed in doing the work. Hence, from (1) and (2)                 \[500=50s\]                 \[s=\frac{500}{50}=10m\]
