A block of mass $M$ is being pulled along rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu $. If another block of mass $M/2$ is placed on the block and it is again pulled on the surface, the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface will be
A bullet of mass $0.1\,kg$ moving horizontally with speed $400\,ms ^{-1}$ hits a wooden block of mass $3.9\,kg$ kept on a horizontal rough surface. The bullet gets embedded into the block and moves $20\,m$ before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $........$ $\left(\text { Given } g=10 \,ms ^2\right. \text { ) }$
A body $B$ lies on a smooth horizontal table and another body $A$ is placed on $B$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu $. What acceleration given to $B$ will cause slipping to occur between $A$ and $B$
A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed ${v_0}$. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $\mu $, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is
The maximum speed of a car on a road-turn of radius $30\, m$, if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $0.4$, will be .......... $m/sec$
