Answer:

  • Distance covered by block before stopping = 0.14 m

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass of block, m = 0.4 kg
  • Initial velocity of block, u = 0.7 m/s
  • Final velocity of block, v = 0   [Since, it comes to rest after sliding a certain distance]
  • Friction force of tabletop acting on the particle, F = -0.7 N

 [Negative F because Friction force would be acting in the opposite direction of motion]

To find

  • Distance covered by block before stopping, s =?

Knowledge required

  • Work-energy theorem

According to the work-energy theorem the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the particle.

       W = Final K.E. - Initial K.E. = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

  • Formula to calculate work

       W = F . s

[ Where W is work done, m is mass, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, F is force and s is the distance covered by the particle ]

Solution:

Since, By work-energy theorem

→ W = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

and, Also we know,

→ W = F . s

therefore,

→ F . s = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

→ (-0.7) · s = 1/2 · m · (0)² - 1/2 · (0.4) · (0.7)²

→ -0.7  s = -0.2 · (0.7) · (0.7)

→ - s = -0.2 · (0.7)

s = 0.14  m

Therefore,

  • Distance covered by block before stopping would be 0.14 metres.
