A marble block of mass 2 kg lying on ice when given a velocity of 6 ms-1 is stopped by friction in 10 s. Then the coefficient of friction is
0.02
0.03
0.06
0.01

Solution:

Using equation of motion

v= u + at

⇒ 0= 6 + a ×10

⇒ a= -0.6 m/sec^2

Maximum Friction force is μN = μ mg so, a= μ.g

⇒ -0.6 = - μ. 10

⇒μ = 0.06
