A body of mass 25kg, moving at 3ms-1 on a rough horizontal floor is at rest after sliding through a distance of 2.50m on the floor. Calculate the co-efficient of sliding friction. [g = 10.0ms-2]

A.

0.09

B.

0.18

C.

0.36

D.

0.54

Correct answer is B

a = v2+u22s=02+322×2.5 = 1.8m/s2

F = ma = 25 x 1.8 = 45N

N = mg = 25 x 10 = 250 

but μ=FR=4525×10=0.18
