Consider a car moving on a straight road with a speed of 10 ms-1. The distance at which car can be stopped is: [μ=0.5]   
800 m
10 m
100 m
400 m

Solution:

Friction force action on the object is f=μ.N= μ.mg

Retardation of the block is  a=μ.g = 0.5× 10 =5

Using equation of motion. Stopping distance = u^2/2a=(10 × 10)/( 2* 5)=10 m
