MCQ
Calculate the maximum acceleration (in $m s ^{-2}$) of a moving car so that a body lying on the floor of the car remains stationary. The coefficient of static friction between the body and the floor is $0.15$ $\left( g =10 m s ^{-2}\right)$.
  • A
    $50$
  • B
    $1.2$
  • C
    $150$
  • $1.5$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1.5$
d
$F _{ s }= ma$

$f _{ L }= ma a _{\max }$

$\mu mg = ma _{\max }$

$a _{\text {max }}=\mu g$

$=0.15(10)$

$=1.5\,m / s ^2$
