A small block of mass 0.15 kg moves on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.025.
- Find the frictional force acting on the block.
- Show that the deceleration of the block is 0.25 m/s-2.
The block is struck from a point A on the surface and, 4 s later, it hits a boundary board at a point B. The initial speed of the block is 5.5 m/s-1.
- Find the distance AB.
The block rebounds from the board with a speed of 3.5 m/s-1 and moves along the line BA. Find
- the speed with which the block passes through A,
- the total distance moved by the block, from the instant when it was struck at A until the instant when it comes to rest.
