Friction Basics

A wooden block, initially at rest on the ground, is pushed by a force which increases linearly with time tt. Which of the following curve best describes acceleration of the block with time:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Force F=ktF = kt; if friction is neglected, a=Fm=kmta = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{k}{m}t.
  2. So a∝ta \propto t: a straight line through the origin.
  3. So the answer is (d).
