Question 23

In this question use g=9.8g = 9.8g=9.8 m s−2^{-2}−2.

A particle of mass 3 kg is moving in a straight line on a rough horizontal surface.

The particle decelerates uniformly from a speed of 10 m s−1^{-1}−1 to rest in 8 seconds. Friction is the only horizontal force acting on the particle.

Find the coefficient of friction between the particle and the surface.
