Work-Energy Theorem

A vehicle of mass mm is moving with momentum pp on a rough horizontal road. The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the horizontal road is μ\mu. The stopping distance is (g=g = acceleration due to gravity)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Friction work removes all KE: μmg s=p22m\mu mg\,s = \frac{p^2}{2m}.
  2. s=p22μgm2s = \frac{p^2}{2\mu g m^2}
  3. So the answer is (b) p22μgm2\frac{p^2}{2\mu g m^2}.
