  1. A block B is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity V. If is the coefficient of sliding friction between B and the surface, block B will come to rest after a time
    1. gμ/V
    2. g/V
    3. V/g
    4. V/(gμ).
Correct Option: D

Friction is the retarding force for the block
F = ma = µR = µmg
Therefore, from the first equation of motion
v = u – at
0 = V – µg × t ⇒ V/μg = t
