A stone of 1 kg is thrown with a velocity of 40 m/s across the frozen surface of a lake and comes to rest after travelling a distance of 50 m. What is the force of friction between the stone and the ice? * A)16 N
B)-4 N
C)-16 N

C)-16 N

Explanation:

concepts used

force = mass* acceleration

equation of motion

where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

and s is the distance moved

______________________________________________

Given

mass = 1 kg

initial velocity (u) = 40m/s

final velocity (v) = 0 as stones comes to rest

distance moved by stone (s) = 50m

using  

Thus, acceleration is -16 m/s^2

here acceleration is negative as force of friction is opposing the motion.

Force of friction = mass of stone * acceleration of stone

Force of friction = 1*-16 kgm/s^2 = -16N       ( kgm/s^2 = 1 N)

Thus, option c -16N is correct choice.

speed

ratio of distance traveled to time interval

net force

vector sum of forces on object

object

source of diverging light rays either luminous or illuminated

explanation:

overcharge is the right answer system
