JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 31st January Evening Shift - No. 10)

A body of mass $10 \mathrm{~kg}$ is moving with an initial speed of $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The body stops after $5 \mathrm{~s}$ due to friction between body and the floor. The value of the coefficient of friction is:

(Take acceleration due to gravity $g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ )
0.3
0.2
0.5
0.4

Explanation

$a=-\mu g$

$$ \begin{aligned} & \because v=u+a t \\\\ & 0=20+(-\mu \times 10) \times 5 \\\\ & 50 \mu=20 \\\\ & \mu=\frac{2}{5}=0.4 \end{aligned} $$
